Your missing more than a few. :) Here's the reference from my README.1st from the Unix Emparse program I've written.
This program was written to suppor the new style "export" files
created in Emerald 2.2 and higher. The format of the file is quite simple.
COMMAND <TAB> ARG1 <TAB> ARG2 <TAB> ARG4....
There are currently 4 commands that Emerald exports. All arguements are
seperated by TABS!!!!!!!!
EXT - Extend a users Expiration Date
Format: EXT LoginID ExpireDate
PWD - Change a users Password
Format: PWD LoginID Password(Unencrypted Clear Text)
ADD - Add a new user to the system
Format: ADD LoginID ExpireDate Password RealName Region Software AccountType
DEL - Remove a user from the system
Format: DEL LoginID ExpireDate
So, a typical export file will look like this; (Note, I have
replaced the TABS with Spaces. A real file will seperate the data by TABS)
EXT damin 10/9/98
PWD damin MyPassword
EXT tori 10/9/98
ADD testing 10/9/98 TestPasswd Greg Boehnlein Cleveland 4 ISDN
EXT testing 10/9/98
DEL testing NewPasswd
EXT damin 10/9/98
That should help.
