[opensuse] how to add users non interactively?
Hi, is there a convenient way to add a couple of user accounts in a non interactive way? I'd like to have a scrpipt that does something like useradd user1 --p pass1 -G group1, group2 useradd user2 --p pass2 -G group2, group3 ... I'd rather have those passwords unencrypted in the batch file as I can make sure noone will see it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Pretty much like you write. useradd -G group1,group2 -p pass1 user1 useradd -G group2,group3 -p pass2 user2 etc. see man useradd Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

There must be a way to protect a password in a script, but I don't know it. Can the script be interactive with the user and ask for the passwords? Or have the passwords in an encrypted container and ask the user for the password needed to extract the user passwords? Anyway, I suggest you repost the question with a subject about protecting passwords when working with scripts. It's a generic question that has nothing to do with adding users.

I don't read his post as asking how to protect the password. He says "unencrypted", he wants them unencrypted because as nobody is going to read the script there is no problem with that. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

$ /usr/sbin/useradd --help [..] -p password Encrypted password as returned by crypt(3) [..] See also 'man mkpasswd'.

Hi Andreas, try "chpasswd". It even works with encrypted passwords.
