Adding Users w/out SMIT

[jkc924]

Hi All,

Does anyone know of a script someone could run without using SMIT that would prompt for new user id and user name and add user with predefined defaults?

Thanks,
Judy

Simply:

#!/bin/ksh

if [ -o $2 ];
then
echo "Not enough arguments - you must specify a user id and username"
exit 1
fi

/usr/bin/mkuser id=$1 pgrp=staff groups=staff,security,system $2



Then you have to specify a user id and username and change the mkuser command to specify the standard paramters you want.

Thanks for the reply. I have run the above script. Set password but when I try to login as the new user I get the following:
.profile[10]: unmask: not found.
.profile[11]: ch: not found.
It then disconnects my session. Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Judy

Hi,

Log in as another user and check out the .profile for that user via vi. It sounds like your default profile may be the problem here i.e. there are invalid entries.

Best of luck
