}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).
Create a file /var/log/lastlog
}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?
Use vipw...
}3. Where can the format for the quota.user and quota.group be found?
Hmm...don't know. I dont want to use quotas.
}Thanks.
