works fine under redhat
here is the error i get with suse9.2


Enter Username ==> toto
Enter User Fullname (no spaces) ==> toto
useradd: User `toto' already exists.

you can't verify if a user exists by just looking at /home.. you should be looking at /etc/passwd really.

not to deflate anything, but you do know that pam and the /etc/skel template can handle all this by default? placing the ssh keys in /etc/skel/.ssh should sort that all out without you needing any of this unweidly script.

Thanks for the fast reply

could you point me someware so I could better understand
or if you could help
Thanks
