<DIV>Hi</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>I have a massive directory of users that I've migrated to a new
install.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>I will have to create a new user, one by one, and point them back to
their directory. And, them ownership and passwords.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>My question to this list is their a way to speed this up? </DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Potentially a command that will create usernames based on each name of
the containing directory, one generic password, and ownership to the
directory.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for any feedback,</DIV>
