Ah ok, yeah ive noticed that it overwrites the entire passwd file which
i thought
isnt a very smart thing, lucky we all use dev boxes to test these things
first..
What i found with the svc_acct.export tho, i went and edited the file
and changed
it from mv the /etc/passwd.new /etc/passwd to cat /etc/passwd.new >>
/etc/passwd
to get around it overwriting, dont know why it does that.
And now once again, when i just tried to run ./svc_acct.export freeside
before executing
this command my ic-radius radcheck table was populated correctly that
freeside added during
the new user creation, but the svc_acct.export has wiped it

That same thing stumped me for a while too.
But all it does is add the user account and
makes sure it creates the home directory.
Then when you run svc_acct.export it extracts
the contents of the svc_acct table, works it's
magic encrypting all the passwords and such, then
it over writes the remote systems master.passwd
file with this data.
A warning of Caution!!! It will erase all accounts
on the remote server so make sure you have all of the
necessary root, daemon, shell accounts that you need
in your svc_acct table before running the svc_acct.export script. I
actually keep a root login to the remote server during the first couple
of times to make sure I didn't lock myself out.
Hope this helps,
Steve
