i just recognized that attachements do not make it to the list... so, here it comes: -------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl -w $debug = 1; $exist = 0; open STDIN,"<"; while (<STDIN>){ $exist = 1; ($uname,$x,$uid,$gid,$comment,$homedir,$shell) = split ":",$_; chomp ($uname,$x,$uid,$gid,$comment,$homedir,$shell); # $debug && print " -- found $uname:$x:$uid:$gid:$comment:$homedir:$shell\n"; # checking whether user exist open PASSWD,"</etc/passwd"; while(<PASSWD>){ ($un,$xx,$u,$g,$c,$d,$s) = split ":",$_; chomp ($un,$xx,$u,$g,$c,$d,$s); if ($uname =~ /\$un/) { print " * User $uname already exist!\n"; $exist = 0; } else { $exist = 1; } } close PASSWD; if ($exist != 0) { # changing every shell to false? # $shell =~ s/(bash|csh|ksh|sh|tcsh)/false/g; if ($uid > 100){ print "Executing 'useradd -u $uid -g $gid -c \"$comment\" -d $homedir -s $shell $uname' ...

Is there anything like a skript ? The users need the home-dir's too ... ! Thank's !
