Sample Scripts for Account Management

Here are some scripts I have written for manipulating users within the directory server. One thing to notice is that if you create a file named /var/tmp/noupdate, then all of the scripts that make modifications will fail.

If you use any of this helpful or useful, drop me a line at eric@ypass.net and let me know. I generally make updates to this code to add features, bug fixes, etc.
