I think the problem is the password. Splitting the script in to parts: 1. useradd .... $1 ....... 2. password --stdin <<"EOF" $2 EOF so if you call script <USERNAME> "<PASSWORD>" the password should be set correctly. -- Joachim Backes <joachim.backes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> University of Kaiserslautern,Computer Center [RHRK], Systems and Operations, High Performance Computing, D-67653 Kaiserslautern, PO Box 3049, Germany -------------------------------------------------- Phone: +49-631-205-2438, FAX: +49-631-205-3056 http://hlrwm.rhrk.uni-kl.de/home/staff/backes.html
