Dear All,
I am a new bie in perl. I have to create the home directories of 424
students in a server machine.
The path of the home directory would be :-
/mnt/btech/formatted-rollno.
where formatted-rollno ="s08-1-5-097"
And the input file contains all the rollnos of 424 students.
A sample student file of five students is as given below (in the
format of uid, MD5 password) as below:-
s08-1-5-093
s08-1-5-094
s08-1-5-095
s08-1-5-096
s08-1-5-097
For example, the home directories,
for the rollno, s08-1-5-097, would be this->
/mnt/btech/s08-1-5-097
All the student should
have read/write and execute permissions in their home directories.
Can any one provide the perl script for doing this ?
If this is a legitimate question and not a student asking us to write
his homework for him, I would not use simple perl script to create
user accounts. There is so much more to do like set up the password
file, etc. There is usually some sort of create user script or
command on a system. It might be logical to drive that command via
perl to do what you want.
