in thread Passwdfile.pm help?

Oh, don't think I'm belittling your task, please! Quite the opposite - I know your pain quite well (though I am a sysadmin, and have just managed to fob off the job of password requests on our help desk)

Now, just to clarify - you want someone to be able to do bulk password changes? Or am I missing something?

Glad to help with the typo, not a problem at all. Lemme know how Unix::PasswordFile works for you

    Hello
    Basically we have to allow users on to our frontends - and there are quite a few - but they trickle in - sometimes one a day, sometime 15.
    This task could be handled by our 2nd level as well - we do not want to have to edit the password file - just incase.

    Passwdfile.pm is a nice way to drop in a user and back it up. They just enter the Unix ID and path - and off they go.
    I am wrestling with passwdfile.pm - I have to make sure i have decent validation.
    You ever use passwdfile.pm?

    Thanks,

    V
