Hello,
Can any one inform me on how to add new users at go?
The pogram should be able to read inials as login and random password.
I would appreciate your guidance.

I don't have an exact answer, but you could probably hack together
some kind of script (maybe in Perl) that would parse a textfile
containing a list of users' names, pick out the initials and run
whatever command-line user-management tool you have on your system
with the appropriate options. You may have to have it crypt the
random passwords before passing them to that tool, though.

For example, a script might wind up executing a command that looks
something like this:

useradd -u 1001 -g 100 -n abc -d /home/abc -s /bin/csh -p 5ad92fa

to specify a userid, group ID, username, home directory, shell and
(crypted?) password.

Hope this gets you heading in a good direction,

-Dan

It would certainly be useful to know what flavor of unix you are
using. This procedure can very tremendously between different flavors.
