[techtalk] mass useradd

Hello all- Haven't been on the list in a while...hope everyone's doing well in their endeavors. I have what I hope is a quick question. I would like to know if there's a way (possible using perl/expect?) to add multiple users from a text file list all simultaneously. I figure I could either p

Re: [techtalk] mass useradd

i had a line in a script that went like echo "passwd for $pos: `/usr/bin/mkpasswd -l 8 -d 2 -c 2 -C 2 $pos`" >> $PASSWORDLIST you could put that in a for loop and have mkpasswd create and set the password at the same time, then spit the password out into a file so you know what mkapsswd

[techtalk] adding mass amounts of users

lookie here! just found this perl script on cobalt's site... http://www.cobalt.com/support/kb/search.php3?ques=apop&qid=793&language=1 btw, for curious parties, although i was raving about cobalt before, it looks like imap on the cobalt raq3s is possibly a bit broken. ==

Re: [techtalk] licq

first, if you have the licq tarball (which I don't suspect you do, seeing as you don't know how to unpack tarballs) there should be a plugins directory inside the licq directory. to unpack tars, first, if it has a .gz (gnuzip) run gzip -d filename.tar.gz, if it has a .bz2 (it's a compression util

Re: [techtalk] licq

[techtalk] sound question (kind of long)

[techtalk] Multiple questions

Hi All, Just installed Mandrake 7.1 and after wading through tons of docs, I've still got some questions. 1. How do I create a "shortcut like" icon on the KDE desktop? 2 How do I cause the system to see all 128M of memory? I've tried mem=128 on the command line for GRUB, but to no avail. 3.
