Hello, I have written a script perl(not very perlich ;-)) which install n accounts but I have encountered few problems: 1 "useradd" works fine except for the password (not encrypted) 2 "mkpasswd" look nice but /etc/shadow doesn't like it's encrypted passwords ? 3 "makepasswd" create passwords accepted by /etc/shadow. Ouf!. I have spent a lot of time with this matter, can this message avoid others to spend time as well. A question: what is the use of "mkpasswd" in debian (potato-woody) ?
