Hi Ron, Thanks for your time, the issue is I want to add user on numb of solaris box in one go through my shell script. Problem I am facing is, I am not able to assign password for user a/c through script (it is easy in liunx), remotly. Is there any way by which i can assigne password to user a/c using script. --Alok <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 13, 2009 at 8:23 PM, gerrynix <<a href="mailto:gerrynix@yahoo.com">gerrynix@yahoo.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="im"> ----- Original Message ---- From: Ronald McCarty <<a href="mailto:mccarty@yournetguard.com">mccarty@yournetguard.com</a>> To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux <<a href="mailto:redhat-install-list@redhat.com">redhat-install-list@redhat.com</a>> Cc: Getting started with Red Hat Linux <<a href="mailto:redhat-install-list@redhat.com">redhat-install-list@redhat.com</a>> Sent: Fri, November 13, 2009 8:04:37 AM Subject: Re: Solaris : How to create user on remote server Is your /etc/passed and /etc/shadow out of sync?

Using a naming service such as NIS or ldap makes the most sense. BUT if you have to create the users on each machine, a script with root access could be the way to go . . . . and you should not be getting errors (I am primarily a Solaris guy) Let's see your script . . . <div><div></div><div class="h5"> > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-install-list mailing list > <a href="mailto:Redhat-install-list@redhat.com">Redhat-install-list@redhat.com</a> > <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list</a> > To Unsubscribe Go To ABOVE URL or send a message to: > <a href="mailto:redhat-install-list-request@redhat.com">redhat-install-list-request@redhat.com</a> > Subject: unsubscribe _______________________________________________ Redhat-install-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Redhat-install-list@redhat.com">Redhat-install-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list</a> To Unsubscribe Go To ABOVE URL or send a message to: <a href="mailto:redhat-install-list-request@redhat.com">redhat-install-list-request@redhat.com</a> Subject: unsubscribe _______________________________________________ Redhat-install-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Redhat-install-list@redhat.com">Redhat-install-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list</a> To Unsubscribe Go To ABOVE URL or send a message to: <a href="mailto:redhat-install-list-request@redhat.com">redhat-install-list-request@redhat.com</a> Subject: unsubscribe </div></div></blockquote></div> -- Thanks ALOK PANDEY
