BlankSorry list, this goes directly to the list because the Acxiom.com mailserver is nagging about unknown users ...... Robert, if you haven't been layed off, have them fix the mailserver.
Hello Robert,
Firstly, this script probably won't run on HP-UX because .... it's a Linux script ;) (right?)
Anyway, the Linux man-page says that the -p option takes an encrypted password as an argument as returned by crypt(3). So what happened was that $y was being interpreted as an encrypted password, which is not quite what you intended.
You can check that the lines before ENDPW does get inputed, change the usermod -p bit by cat.
Best regards,
Edward
