Remote useradd mod - robmorin - 10-18-2007 04:26 AM
Hello all i was wondering what would be the best method to have Omega add whatever vu20xx user it is adding to /etc/passwd file also add it to a remote machine? I mean a simple ssh command to another machine would be easy, but how would i tell Omega to do this, so that i would have 2 machine with the same users in the password ?
Thanks to all in advance!
Have a great day

have a look at the perl files in the "engine" folder.
Especially the ispcp_common_methods.pl, the sub
"add_dmn_suexec_user"...

Ok so i added this
my $cmdR = "ssh -l root peter.domain.com /usr/sbin/useradd $sys_uid $sys_user";
and then this
sys_command($cmdR);
And it does not work, now if i hard code the user in like so....
my $cmdR = "ssh -l root peter.domain.com /usr/sbin/useradd fred";
t works, i did that just to make sure communication works ok between the servers... so i guess its not getting the variables right somehow... I am not a perl person at all.... so ay help appreciated
Thanks

Is there anything in the logfile on the remote machine?
I'd try:
Code:
my $cmdR = "ssh -l root peter.domain.com /usr/sbin/useradd -u $sys_uid $sys_user";maybe also an "-m" to create the home, and maybe also the homedir ( -d home ) - it depends on what you want to do...

Yes i tried the actuall whole line but no go, thats why i tried a simple static entry like fred as the username, and it worked, so it does connect to the machine and does stuff , but i think the useradd fails because of a syntax error, with respect to the variables.....
Nothing on the remote machine in the logs pertaining to a bad useradd command..
Anything else i should check?
Thanks

did you add the "-u"
useradd -u uid login
and not
useradd uid login
maybe you cann add a
> /tmp/my-test.log 2>&1
or similar - hopefully you see whats wrong...

RE: Remote useradd mod - robmorin - 10-19-2007 11:15 PM
Cool.. ok so i added the -u and my test worked , however when i addded back all the other arguments it did not work, and this was in the log
joe:/var/www/ispcp/engine# cat /tmp/my-test.log
useradd: unknown group vu2013
weird how it does not get the group, unless the group needs to be added firstly?
the whole line is...
my $cmdR = "ssh -l root peter.domain.com /usr/sbin/useradd -c virtual-user -d $homedir -g $sys_group -s /bin/false -u $sys_uid $sys_user";
Thanks for your help!

omit the -g option and the group according to the username is automatically created...
RE: Remote useradd mod - robmorin - 10-20-2007 12:06 AM
OK i do this and all is fine, even the userdel & groupdel works fine!
i am happing now
my $cmd_ARG = "ssh -l root peter.domain.com /usr/sbin/groupadd -g $sys_gid $sys_group";
my $cmd_ARU = "ssh -l root peter.domain.com /usr/sbin/useradd -c virtual-user -d $homedir -g $sys_group -s /bin/false -u $sys_uid $sys_user
Thanks for your help!
