hello, I have a requirement which I think some of you may solved many
times, so I ask your help.

I have in my possesion a spredsheat with all the users that must be
updated to a new server, there are over 10,000. and would like to
automatize the process with a simple script.

I have one that makes the entries in the /etc/passwd , the format of the
spreadshet is something like this.

companyid,"completename","non-encripted password","loginname","other
field"

the double quotes can be easyly be removed by the same spread***, but
the corresponding password can not be set using solaris passwd utility.

the script I have is very simple, and is used to affect the /etc/passwd
directly
the uid value is used for the last uid entry.

#cat file.csv | awk -F, -v uid=2170 '{print$4":x:"uid+
+":101:"$2":/export/home/"$4":/bin/false" }'

any help, or examples :D for creating and sync the password with the
user, also if you have any tool for removing invalid caracters like
spaces, *, ? in the passwd file would be great.

thanks in advance! this was asked in very short notice.
