script to create users on many servers
Hi all, working on script to create a user acct on all our servers.
for i in `cat $host_file`; do ssh $i /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/mkuser id='bpadm' gecos='NetBackup Admin' 2>&1 >> $log done error i get is: 3004-692 Error changing "id" to "bpadm" : Value is invalid. I have tried this in various ways, various quotes, tried on the cmd line on the target server. tried it without id= part. I am just trying to create the user name and a value for gecos. Server is AIX 5.X, shell is Korn. thanks, dave |

you might be better off appending an entry into the remote box's /etc/passwd file and then creating the home directory as required ...
a. create /etc/password and /etc/shadow strings for the user into temp files Code:
vi /tmp/pass vi /tmp/shad Code:
cd /tmp
for remhost in `< /path/to/hostlist`
do
tar cvfp - pass shad | ssh $remhost "cd /tmp; tar xvfp -"
done
Code:
for remhost in `< /path/to/hoslist`
do
ssh $remhost "hostname; cat /tmp/pass >> /etc/passwd; cat /tmp/shad >> /etc/shadow; cd /home; mkdir -m 755 bpadm; chown bpadm bpadm; cd /tmp; rm pass shad"
done
the script ... Code:
#! /usr/bin/ksh [ -f /tmp/pass ] && cat /tmp/pass >> /etc/passwd [ -f /tmp/shad ] && cat /tmp/shad >> /etc/shad [ ! -d /home/bpadm ] && (cd /home; mkdir -m 755 bpadm; chown bpadm bpadm) rm /tmp/pass /tmp/shad 2> /dev/null exit 0 Code:
for remhost in `< /path/to/hostlist`
do
scp -p /tmp/script $remhost:/tmp/script
ssh $remhost "hostname; sudo /tmp/script"
done
