[Hooker, Jonathan]

Brandon,

Do you maybe have an example of that script that I could use as a starting point? Thanks!

Or, I *strongly* suggest using the frontend API to create these users:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5.3/API_Overview/html/handlers/UserHandler.html#create

When I need to create a bunch of users, I have a rudimentary perl script
that takes all of the parameters as arguments, then I just have some fun
with ypcat passwd, sed, awk, etc. and pipe through bash to get all my
users created.  Way better than doing the web interface if you have ten
or more users to create.  You just need to make sure to set:

        #  int usePamAuth - 1 if you wish to use PAM authentication for this
user, 0 otherwise.

Thanks.
