DESCRIPTION

UserTools is a set of utilities for managing user account information that is stored in LDAP according to RFC2307.
Usertools is currently in use by the CADE lab at the University of Utah.

THE TOOLS

The suite consists of 8 tools that are used for account management.
They are:
groupcreate -- used to create groups
groupmodify -- modifies a group
groupsearch -- locates a group by gid, group name, or custom field
usercreate -- creates users one at a time, or from a passwd file
userdelete -- removes a user from LDAP
usermodify -- modifys a user
userrevert -- sets a users password to a random string, assigns default shell
usersearch -- locates a user by uid, username, or custom field

All scripts are interactive. Non-interactive command line options exist for each tool. Take a look at the appropriate man pages for details.
