Subject: adduser script for cygwin and NT/2000/XP

Hello,

I have created a adduser script for NT/2000/XP, it’s
not general purpose as it assumes you are  running a
ssh server, however it shows that is is necessary to
restart sshd once a user is added; This is not
obvious, and has taken me a while to figure that out
myself.

I am posting this basically so that anyone else who
had the same problem I did will have a drag and drop
solution, I would have loved to have seen this when I
was looking for an answer.

Enjoy,
-Jon

------ adduser.sh -----

!/bin/sh

if [ $1 ]; then
        net user $1 /add
        passwd $1
        mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
        net stop sshd	
        net start sshd
else
        echo "User name is required";
fi
