An answer to the following questions would be greatly appreciated:
1. What must be done to enable the 'last login' reports (presumably from the
wtmp records) of a 'finger' userid 'query? ('Never logged in' is all that
ever appears at the moment).
2. The adduser command on SCO/Unix will accept the information on the command
line. 386bsd does not appear to work this way, and accepts the information
only from the prompts (userid, group, directory, etc.). So, how does one
add a long list of users quickly (say from a script) without having to
verbosely run the adduser program once for each new userid?
3. Where can the format for the quota.user and quota.group be found?
Thanks.
