add user password linux command line
My requirement is to automate creation of users thereby passing username and password in command line in Linux.
After searching a lot, I finally got a solution.
Our solution require openssl package to be installed and this solution is w.r.t BOSS Linux (a debian derived linux)
This generate a Hash.
Let that be called as <HASH>
This will add the user with the specified password.
This worked with openssl version 0.9.8g-15 .
Note that these commands must be run as root user .
