Re: [suse-linux-uk-schools] Today's welcome message
There is a freeware program called NetUser, available from my website. I don't remember where I downloaded it from originally. Anyway, it can be used to export user information from NT in CSV format. I use it to set up our intranet pages. http://jump.to/benjiman Hope this is of use, Ben

KDE includes the kuser user manager for graphical admin - but only one at a time. For bulk usernames there is the newusers command line tool - we mailmerge data into a file in the right format. I am supposed to be looking at exporting usernames from RM connect to create mailboxes under Linux. If anyone has done this, it would save me some time. _____________________________________ Giles Nunn - Network Manager Carms Schools ICT Development Centre Tel: +44 01239 710662 Fax: 710985 ____________________________________

You can certainly do this by creating a suitable script.
There is a feeling that others have mentioned that some kind of graphical tool to help schools with this would be useful: what do others think?
This list is not exclusive - users of other distributions are welcome ... :)

If you're new to the list or haven't posted before, just let us know who you are and what you're doing or hope to do with Linux ...
Don't be shy ...
The more people use the list, the more useful it will be.
I feel like a bit of an intruder (I am atm a RedHat user) but I am willing to change to SUSE if this group proves to be useful.
I am the ICT coordinator of a large, mixed platform, secondary school. We have roughly 150 Acorn/PCs which can connect to a RedHat server running Samba. My concerns centre around the account management tools available ie. the methods that can be used to add 200+ users at a time.
Does anyone have any techniques which can help with this?
