well the assignment is to make a script to add a user without using useradd program. it must also be able to make groups and delete them. i got the delete part down that was easy but my problem is encryting the password in the shadow file.
KeYword is assignment. you are not going to get the script from EE, but here is the HeLP
look at /etc/passwd /etc/group for format.
your script Must add an entry to /etc/passwd with user name, user ID, group id, and shell
and to group if you are creating a new group for each user. if you can create them, you can delete them.
