create_user, what goes into %user?

[Joe C. <jo...@sw...>]

Quick query,

What /needs/ to be in %user when using the &create_user function from 
useradmin?

Here's the situation, I want to create a user from a template, with only 
a username selected by the admin at creation time.  The template will be 
hardcoded at first, but soon replaced by module config options or some 
other interactive setup method.  But, it will not be specific to each 
user.  I'd like to accomplish the following:

Insert the name which is being chosen at create time

Create a random password which is encrypted using the standard Red Hat 
PAM method -- (I'll probably also add a field for entering an optional 
password later)

Select the next available user ID (I think I've successfully pulled this 
mostly unaltered from the edit_user.cgi section)

Set everything else to 'defaults' as defined in the template

I'm already successfully creating the new user's home directory, and I 
think I can figure out adding ACLs for the user for Webmin (haven't 
tried to tackle adding a Webmin user yet).

What I'm trying to figure out is, what needs to be specified in the 
%user hash when calling create_user?  As I mentioned, the details of the 
user will not be chosen on a per-user basis so I definitely don't need 
all the funny bits being checked and configured in useradmin, but I want 
to make sure I'm creating a functional and completely defined user.

Thanks!
