Profilemanager multi association to profile

[d.davolio at mastertraining.it]

Hi David,
It was easy because I had the users in a colon separated .csv list. It 
was something like:

#!/bin/bash

groupadd DOCENTE

for i in `cat docenti.csv`
     do
         a=`echo $i | awk -F: '{print $1}'`
         gpasswd -a $a DOCENTE
     done


Then I attached the desired profile to the DOCENTE group. Every user 
belonging to the group DOCENTE inherits the menu profile.

If you want you can retrieve the user list directly form "getent passwd" 
command.

Bye
Davo
