Mass User Creation

[David Trask]

If I'm not mistaken....Fiesty will use LDAP.  User creation will change,
however I can say that the scripts already exist from the
smbldap-installer project  (http://majen.net/smbldap) ....hopefully GUI's
will be written for them.  Ogra also mentioned (I forget what it is) an
LDAP frontend that may be included with Fiesty.  (Orga knows a lot more
about what will happen than I do)   The intent, and I helped advocate for
it....is to make user creation, password creation (if you wish) and so
forth....very easy to do.  I'm a user, a teacher, and a sysadmin....and
I'm lazy  ;-)  I want it to be easy....   As my mom used to say....  "You
spend 3 hours trying to invent an easier way to do a 3 minute job"  ;-)
