Add instantly active local user accounts *with* password using useradd -p option ?
...o activate them all manually by doing passwd user1,
passwd user2, passwd user3, etcetera. The useradd man page mentions a -p
option to define a password, but I can't seem to get this to work.
Here's what I'd like to be able to do:
# useradd -c "Gaston Lagaffe" -p abc123 -m glagaffe
And put that line in a script, so the account is *instantly* activated.
I tried it, but to no avail. Looks like there's some burning loop I have
to jump through first :o)
No security considerations here for the moment, since it's for testing.
Any idea how this works?
