To create Bloominglabs accounts:

• ssh to bloominglabs.org (ask dosman about the specifics)
• /usr/local/bin/ldapadduser {username} {group} "{gecos}"
  • group can either be the group name or the gid
  • make sure to put gecos info in quotes if there is a space - like between their first and last name
  • you can add a uid at the end of the command if you want to set a particular uid
  • running ldapadduser without any parameters will give you usage info
• Examples:
  • /usr/local/bin/ldapadduser pvenkman users "Dr. Peter Venkman"
    • This will create the pvenkman account and assign it the next uid and the gid of the users group
  • /usr/local/bin/ldapadduser rstanz 100 "Dr. Raymond Stanz" 2408
    • This will create the rstanz account and assign it the uid 2408 and the gid 100
  • /usr/local/bin/ldapadduser
    • returns: Usage : ./ldapadduser <username> <groupname | gid> "<gecos>" [uid]
