half working script to mass add host

[Holger Levsen <holger@layer-acht.org>]

Hi,

Finn-Arne gladly posted this script to paste.debian.net, to mass add hosts to 
ldap. As it got lost on paste.debian.net I post it here, so someone can take 
it and finish the last bits for polishing (ie, it has the uid=finnarne 
hardcoded :)

Finn-Arne, do I assume correctly it's gpl2+ licenced?

Should I open a wishlist ticket, that it gets included as example into lwat?

#!/bin/sh
 
test -z "$1" && echo "Need a filename" && exit 0 
test -f "$1" || echo "Need a readable file"
test -f "$1" || exit 0 
 
LDAP=skole
BASE=dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
ADMIN=uid=finnarne,ou=People,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
read -s -p "Enter password for user $DN: " PASS
 
LDAPBIND="-D $ADMIDN -w $PASS"
nextID=$(ldapsearch -xLLL -h $LDAP -b $BASE cn=nextID gidnumber | 
awk '/gidNumber:/ { print $2 }')
 
for MACHINE in $(cat $1) ; do 
    while ldapsearch -xLLL -h $LDAP -b $BASE "(|(uidNumber=$nextID)
(gidNumber=$nextID))" dn | grep -q ^dn: ; do 
        nextID=$(($nextID + 1))
    done
    ldapadd -xZD $ADMIN -w $PASS -h $LDAP << EOF
dn: cn=$MACHINE,ou=Machines,ou=People,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
cn: $MACHINE
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalRole
uid: $MACHINE$
uidNumber: $nextID
gidnumber: 107
homeDirectory: /dev/null
EOF
    smbpasswd -ma $MACHINE
done



regards,
	Holger
