All,<br>
<br>
I've recently deployed 389 on our compute cluster, and I found the
389-console to be frustrating and limiting in some ways[0]. One of
the things I missed most was being able to add users *easily* from
the command line. I had a quick search around and found only one
mention of a tool for this, an example shell script from the Red Hat
Netgroup whitepaper[1] in 2008.<br>
<br>
I've taken this script and modernized it a bit, including things
like auto incrementing the user and group IDs based on the latest
UID/GID in the directory. The script is on my github account[2]. <br>
<br>
Hope someone else can take advantage of (and improve!) it. Thanks!<br>
