Hi All, I have about 150 users in my Suse 8.2 file-server. Right now whenever I want to edit one of them, I have to look their unsorted username one by one in yast console. So it's kind of time consuming because of that. How can I sort that user list ? In SuSE 9.1 I still can't sort the user list. Is there any chance suse will add this function so we can sort all of users base on usersname, groups, ID, etc. regards. -- Arie Reynaldi Zanahar reymanx at gmail.com http://www.reynaldi.or.id

plain text files, but it is not altogether perfect:
1. edit the password file using the vipw command.
2. Select all the users and paste them into a temporary file.
3. sort that file either by used name or uid using the sort(1) command
4. pase them back in. Yast will display them in the order you sorted them
in.
Remember to use the vipw(8) command since it locks out simultaneous users
and does a few other things.

You need to run the GUI version of YaST (yast2 from a console) for that capability. The ncurses or console version doesn't sort - that I can find. I'd like that capability too. If your server has the capability to do X, then ssh -X in and fire up the GUI yast2 from a workstation. Stan

The problem is, I eliminate the use of X because of vulnerability. So I just using console based (ncurse based) yast. I really hope SUSE will consider add this features in next release. It'll help admin maintain alot of users. -- Arie Reynaldi Zanahar reymanx at gmail.com http://www.reynaldi.or.id
