[rhn-users] Mass Usernames and Directories

[Bill Watson]

The way I did this was to create a text file with:
useradd -g users -m -p -d direct4me xxxxx99 mugwhump
useradd -g users -m -p -d directory2 xxxxx99 otheruser
useradd -g users -m -p xxxxx99 another
 
The first 2 with the -d option create the specific directory for the user,
the 3rd one uses the default /home/another
 
Then from the root command line prompt:
# sh ./textfile-that-I-created

Hi

I have a massive directory of users that I've migrated to a new install.

I will have to create a new user, one by one, and point them back to their
directory. And, them ownership and passwords.

My question to this list is their a way to speed this up? 

Potentially a command that will create usernames based on each name of the
containing directory, one generic password, and ownership to the directory.

Thanks for any feedback,
Vincent

At least in FC3 and later, under Gnome, I use
"Desktop->Preferences->Removable Drives and Media".  I assume that this
works on RHEL 4 also.

Hi,

Has anyone had experience disabling the automount system in RHEL 4. I
would like to turn off automounting of any USB/FIREWIRE drives attached
to the machine. The key is that I can't turn the USB ports off because
I'm using USB mice and keyboards.

Thanks for the help.
Brad
