useradd script

You can hack this if you want - no warrenties come with it of course.

1/2 half of code:

#!/u/bin/perl
#    This is a script to add users to the passwd / shadow files.  It
# prompts for a first name, middle inital and last name.  A username
# is generated from the first inital, middle inital, and lastname.
# This username can be changed.  After a username has been selected
# the passwd file is scaned to see if the user already exists.  If the
# username exists then the user is prompted to change the username.
#   Once a valid username is chosen, the passwd file is scaned to find
# the next free userid.  This userid must be greater than the $minuid
# variable.  The entry is added to the passwd and shadow files, the
# home direcrory is created and 'make passwd' is done.
