To prevent them from logging in via telnet etc., give them /bin/false for a shell. Don't forget to add a line '/bin/false' to /etc/shells. To add and delete many users, write a script that calls useradd and userdel. Remco -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
