usermod array script help

LinuxNewbie55 · 09-09-2008, 03:08 PM

I am in the process of trying to figure out just how to write a usermod array script. I have 5 users that i need to add to one group. All attempts that i have made so far have done nothing but frustrate me. If anyone can help i would be more the grateful. Thank you so much.

What platform are you on? And are you trying to add them into an LDAP group, or into the /etc/groups file? What language are you trying to write this in? Can you post the script you've got, along with the errors, and we can try to help you....

If its just for a local system, you can become root and add them to the appropriate entry in /etc/group, see
'man group'.
