I need to create bunch of new users with given password. What I want is a script that I would pass the user name of new user and it will create/add the user and set its password. (the password is the same for all new users – no security issues here.)
Any suggestions how to do that on SuSE from command line?
Best Answer
Does SuSE
useradd
have the-p
option? That takes the password (albeit in encrypted form, but you should be able to generate that I think).So
useradd -p <crypt'ed password> <new username>
should do it I think
