How to manage thousands of users using Expect

Filed in archive Utilities by Rom Feria on September 29, 2007

Linux.com's Sergio Gonzalez Duranlinks writes about his experience in using Expect to have an automated user management tool in Linux. Expect is "a tool for automating interactive applications such as telnet, ftp, passwd, fsck, rlogin, tip, etc."

This is an extremely useful tip specially to those who are migrating users to a new server. Incidentally, we are doing the same thing - creating user accounts on a new server. I wish Mr. Duran wrote about this when I was managing hundreds of users. :)
