Conversion to FreeBSD from Linux

[Mark Sergeant]

-- Begin perl script --


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use AcctInfo;

my $acct = new AcctInfo;

my @realusers = $acct->GetNonSystemUsers;

umask(066);
$pwfile = "/tmp/temppasswd";
open(PWFILE, ">$pwfile") || die "Unable to open $pwfile";

foreach $user (@realusers) {
    $acct->SetUser($user);
    $acct->cache;
    $passwd = $acct->GetPassword;
    $uid = $acct->GetUid;
    $gid = $acct->GetGid;
    $realname = $acct->GetRealName;
    $homedir = $acct->GetHomeDir;
    $shell = $acct->GetShell;
    # Get rid of extraneous , used in Solaris gcos field.
    ($realname,$junk) = split(/,/, $realname);

    # Output data in bsd password format.
    print PWFILE $user . ":" . $passwd . ":" . $uid . ":" . $gid .
"::0:0:" . $realname . ":" . $homedir . ":" . $shell . "\n";

}

close(PWFILE);

exit;

-- End perl script

Should work well enough on linux as well. ohh and of course if you
intend to use it more than once drop in some error checking / catching,
something to remove the system accounts and of course "use strict"

Cheers,

Mark
