Red Hat ES4 User GUI display

bricks00usa · 05-15-2008, 09:14 AM

I recently added a bunch of new users via command line to a Red hat Es4 server. The users added by command line do not show up in the GUI. They do have a listing in /etc/passwd and can function properly. Is there any way to make the users in the passwd file reflect on the GUI screen?

In Linux you can do anything...
As a minimum you would need to cleverly parse /etc/passwd. For this I think it is best to write an ad-hoc bash script.
Commands like "cut" may be useful.
Then you would need to test the UID with a mnimum number to get to the real users.
