Hi all you nis gurus out there,

Is there an easy quick way to create and push nis user accounts ?

something like the useradd command would be nice, ie. user add -u n -g n -d
/..path -m user -s shell - but for nis !!

At moment, i am manually editing /var/yp/passwd, manually editing
/var/yp/shadow, manually creating the home dir, manually copying in .files
from other user home, , manually setting ownership of homedir and files,
then doing a make !!!.

Surly there is a simple way to add a nis user.

Thanks in advance

Laurence
