Hi guys,

I'm making a setup script for my Linux boxes that re-install Openldap and some other bits and bobs. I need to add some text to /etc/pam.d/gdm for example, and it needs to be on a particular line in this file, not at the bottom.

For example using the command:

echo 'session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=0077' >> /etc/pam.d/gdm

Will only add this to the bottom of the file, can I get around this, it needs to be on the same position on all machines, ie line 8.

How about:

awk '	NR == 8 {
		printf "session    required     pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel
umask=007\n"
	}
	{ print }' /etc/pam.d/gdm > /etc/pam.d/gdm.new
mv /etc/pam.d/gdm.new /etc/pam.d/gdm

Paul.

Paul,

Thats got it thanks :) I don't suppose there is a simple way to put a yes/no question into the script, if answered yes another script will be called, if no then its not?

Thanks again,

-Chris
