svc_acct.import and export scripts

[Ivan Kohler]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

You need to modify svc_acct.{import,export} and site_perl/svc_acct.pm to
match your particular site (as well as the above for svc_acct_sm).  The
error messages you are receiving from svc_acct.import should provide a
clue.  Perhaps you need to add the shell you are using for system accounts
to svc_acct.pm (line 275):

    unless ( $recref->{username} eq 'sync' ) {
      $recref->{shell} =~ /^(\/bin\/)(sh|csh|tcsh|bash|ksh|zsh|true)$/
        or return "Illegal shell";
      $recref->{shell} = $1.$2;
    } else {
      $recref->{shell} = '/bin/sync';
    }

You could also add the entries directly to the SQL database.
