Remote useradd mod

[robmorin]

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
Rob..

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...
