- Hi!
-
- I am currently managing two machines which run Unix (HP-UX and DEC/Ultrix).
-
- Being a university, we have to constantly add accounts and before giving
- the
- accounts we should be able to check for their validity. I have been assigned
- to write a "newuser" program for these machines. All the necessary security
- checks should be done. A "valid" student should be able to sit at a terminal
- and "give" himself/herself an account. We get a tape of all the list to students
- who are registered.
-
- Before I start working on this, I just wanted to find out if there is any
- free/shareware software available. Basically, I am looking for this program
- from any university/institution where it is currently being used. I can
- "tailor-fit" the program to suit our needs.
-
- Any input from anyone in this regrad is appreciated.
-
- Thanks a lot in anticipation.
