Hi all

Here is the script which i created to create user as well add them as SMB and assign qouta.

#################################################3
#!/bin/bash
username=$1
password=$2
whoami=`whoami`
datecreated=`date`
# Ensure that root is running the script.

if [ $whoami != "root" ]; then
        clear
        echo "You must be root to add news users!"
        exit 1
else
        clear
        useradd -g 501 $username > /dev/null
        echo $password | passwd --stdin $username > /dev/null
        echo "User $username has been created successfully."
        (echo $password; echo $password) | smbpasswd -as $username > /dev/null
        setquota -u $username 4000000 5000000 0 0 -a /home /dev/null
        echo "User $username has been added as samba user successfully."
        echo $username $password $datecreated >> /var/log/usercreated
fi
###############################################

This script can use if you have lot of user. Just create a txt file with username and password and use SED or CUT with this script.

Dear

       Not work in RHEL-5, I do the same.

[Kaushal Patel]

I have CentOS 5. This script is working well on this machine. If you have RHEL 5 then it should work.

Let me know what error you received.

Absolutely excellent.

you can user for loop to add bulk users with this script.
