If so, then the answer is pretty simple, since Linux (Red Hat) has a "useradd" command that you just have to supply inputs to. Your python program will start by importing "subprocess" and then using it to spawn a child process in which the useradd command will run.</div><div><br></div><div>Read the subprocess documentation here:</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><a href="http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html?highlight=subprocess#subprocess">http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html?highlight=subprocess#subprocess</a></div><div><br></div><div>and see if this, plus the man page for useradd, doesn't get you going.</div><div><br></div><div>-Bill</div></body></html>
