Hi,

I'm making a script that creates a user and syncs that with an other
machine.
I was wondering what the exit codes are that mkuser can return? Like
user already exists etc.



_sync ()
{
UFl='/etc/passwd /etc/group'
UFlSec='/etc/security/passwd /etc/security/group'
UDn='host2:/etc/'
UDnSec='host2:/etc/security/'
/usr/bin/rcp $UFl $UDn
/usr/bin/rcp $UFlSec $UDnSec
if [[ -d /home/${1} ]] ; then /usr/bin/rcp -rp /home/${1} host2:/home/
; fi
}
mkuser pgrp='mls' home="/home/${1}" shell='/usr/bin/ksh' gecos="${2}"
${1}
_sync



regards

Dunno off the top of my head. I'd try it and see. I suspect you'll be
wanting to look at the output from mkuser, rather than just the exit code.

not particularly an answer to your question, but I'd say it would be
safer to rsh the mkuser command rather than rcp the files. safer still
would be to use ssh / scp.
