RedHat Useradd cmd in solaris and HPUX
Dear All,
I am having a script which is using the useradd command to create a new user.

it was working fine in solaris but now in HP UX i am getting a prolem. though almost al the option which are available with command are same.

i am using below options
Code:
                [-c comment]
		[-m [-k skel_dir]]
		[-d dir] 
		[-g group] - Security Groupname
		[-G group [, group...]]
		[-s shell]
		[-k skel_dir]

when the script will run it will add the user in /etc/passwd and first the new created account will in locked status.

below is the code which is used to create a account.
Code:
		my $pUserID = shift(@_);
   		my $su;
		my $Cmd = $myConfig::Configuration{useradd};

		my @CmdArgs =  ('-c', 'my Account for ' . $myConfig::Configuration{InstanceName} . ' instance',
				'-m', '-d', $myConfig::Configuration{AccountHome}."/".lc($pUserID),
				'-g', $myConfig::Configuration{SecurityGroupName},
				'-G', 'myscr',
				'-s', '/bin/ksh',
				'-k', $myConfig::Configuration{AccountHome}."/".$myConfig::Configuration{StdAccountName},lc($pUserID));
		$su = Sudo->new(
				{
				 sudo         => $myConfig::Configuration{sudo}
				,sudo_args    => ''
		                ,username     => "root"
				,program      => $Cmd
				,program_args => \@CmdArgs
				}

when i run it in HP US i get below entry in Passwd file
Code:
ARRAY(0x6000000000aca598):x:117:20::/home/ARRAY(0x6000000000aca598):/sbin/sh		ARRAY(0x6000000000aca638):x:118:20::/home/ARRAY(0x6000000000aca638):/sbin/sh

can somebody guide me about error.

To unlock the account i have planned to use /usr/lbin/modprpw with -k which is silmilar to passwd -u but no idea what will be outcome.

Please suggest why strange entry in /ect/passwd file and suggestion

Those ARRAY(hex address) strings are the result of using an array reference as a string.

Aliste, Thank you very much for reply.. previously this was not the case when the code was used on solaris..

now when we are using in HP UX we are getting this issue.

One strange thing is that when i run useradd seperataly there is no issue..
Code:
sudo /usr/sbin/useradd -c "ricky" -m -d /home/y012653 -g dac -G oclsascr -s '/bin/ksh' y012653

Can you please help me to understand the how to avoid or where to look to print user name not the hash value in passwd file

                ,sudo_args    => ''
                        ,username     => "root"
                ,program      => $Cmd
                ,program_args => \@CmdArgs
                }

...
I haven't used the Sudo module, but the CPAN page of this module mentions that the value of "program_args" is a string. Check the page out:
Sudo - search.cpan.org

When you specify \@CmdArgs, you pass a reference to the array @CmdArgs.

So, I'd think you may want to pass the array converted to a string, like so -

Code:
                ,program_args => join (" ", @CmdArgs)

or maybe this -

Code:
                ,program_args => "@CmdArgs"

Disclaimer: I haven't tested this at all; this is simply from my observation of the CPAN documentation page of this module. Try this suggestion on a Dev box, **NOT** on a Production box.
