What's Wrong With Utux-Utux?

Don't even try to add user from shell with useradd in Clarkconnect. Why? It's because the linux user database is also used for the ldap database (see previous posting of me). If you do it, even the user is registered to linux user but the user won't be able login with his ldap account. You can only add the user within webconfig. The fact is database for linux user and ldap user is different.
The problem begin here. What about adding mass of users, for me 6000, users to the ldap systems. I've thoughted we can easily solve the problem with shell script. Right? But that's actually wrong. So what we gonna do now?
After look after Clarkconnect forum, I founded it. A script to add mas of users automatically from text file. But don't worry, this time the ldap user also would be made.

First, made a text file for username named user_list.txt and put it to /tmp folder. Form for the text is:
USERNAME1:UID:PASSWORD:FIRSTNAME LASTNAME
USERNAME2:UID:PASSWORD:FIRSTNAME LASTNAME
USERNAME3:UID:PASSWORD:FIRSTNAME LASTNAME
....etc
You can easily convert your database to .csv file type and replace the commas (,) with (:).

Then make the main script named user.php. This script can you put within your home folder.
#!/usr/webconfig/bin/php -q

The last one is just execute it
./user.php

Hope it helps for you all. And I also hope that the next version of Clarkconnect add function to add many users automatically just by import the file with webconfig.

Learning LDAP can be a frustrating experience. LDAP is complicated, and centralized authentication is only one of its many legitimate uses. As a result, the task of making Linux machines consult an LDAP server for authentication is a black art. Documentation tends to be spotty and confusing. But learning about LDAP authentication, despite its difficulty, is worth the time and effort. LDAP can provide a scalable and secure approach to network management.
I've failed to practise it with both of Fedora (or Centos, i've forgotten) and Suse. But Mr Sumodirjo told me to try ClarkConnect. It has been installed and set up there. So you just only do simple way to create user, configure the samba and anything else related to.
You can get it here.
