| Add user shell script |
This is a shell script I use to add a new user to my shell account service. There is no need to make a script to delete a user account because the simple userdel -r username does it just fine.
#!/bin/sh
# add a shell user
# usage: addshelluser.sh username password
# adds the user to the group "shell"
# then changes permission so no one has perms to their home folder
# and finally copies my rules into their home folder
useradd $1 -g shell
if cd /home/$1
then
passwd $1
cd ..
echo "Changing permissions ..."
chmod g-rwx $1
chmod o-rwx $1
echo "Permissions changed."
echo "Copying rules ..."
cp /home/riscphree/rules /home/$1/rules
echo "Files copied."
fi
There ya go, simple, yes. But it works nicely when you have to do all that for many accounts. |
