To create a batch of 25 users follow the steps below. You need access to Webmin as root. In fact, login as root.
The users that will be created:
International
users:
25 users will be created. There are five users
in each language:
user1 has password userone, user2=usertwo, user3=userthree, user4=userfour and
user5=userfive
usuario1 (Spanish) will have usuariouno, usuariodos, usuariotres, usuariocuatro and
usuariocinco as corresponding passwords with the user numbers.
utilisateur1 (French) has pwd utilisateurun, utilisateurdeux, utilisateurtrois,
utilisateurquatre and utilisateurcinq respectively.
Benutzers1 (German) has pwd Benutzerseiner, Benutzerszwei, Benutzersdrei,
Benutzersvier, and Benutzersfunf respectively.
utente1 (Italian) has pwd utenteuno, utentedue, utentetre, utentequattro and
utentecinque respectively.
The text table that goes in Webmin is users.sample
Users by mascot
(as in school mascot - use a find/replace to change mascot to bears,
tigers, etc.)
25 users will be created: user01 has password
mascot01... user25/mascot25
The text table that goes in Webmin is users2.txt
You can also find a number of .jpgs for backgrounds here
Procedure:
1) Login to http://links.episd.org/ltsp
and download either the users.sample
file or the users2.txt file.
From your browser just <save as> - your file will most likely be
saved as a text file (you can copy and paste it later into
a any text editor). It will be in the root directory if you logged in
as such.
2) Login into Webmin - for the latest version visit http://www.webmin.com
3) Click on the second icon (System)
4) Click (scroll) on Users and Groups
5) Under Users, before the colored background
text, click on Create, modify and
delete users from batch file
6) Scroll - Next to the blank box to the right
of Upload batch file click on the
[Browse...] button
7) Under the /root directory you should find
users.sample or users2,txt. Click on your choice and then
click the [Open] box. The path to the file (/root/users.sample or
/root.users2.txt)
should be there.
8) At the bottom of the window (scroll down)
you should find the [Execute
batch] button. Click on it and wait - depending on the size of
your file, it can
take several minutes.
At the end you should have an Execute Batch
File report listing all the created
users.
Naturally, you can use the users.sample or the users2.txt as a guide to fill in your own data.
Good Luck
