To whom it may concern​:
The following program is extremely crude, but I've
inherited it. This installation does not currently
use NIS and the system admins need a way to determine
whether or not a user has a password on a given
machine. The basic algorythm loops through a list of
users. Within this loop there is a loop of hosts.
Each user is checked in the hosts password file and if
they exist we create an output file for that user.
The general output file is user.ostype. Where ostype
is HP-UX, SOLARIS 4.xx or SOLARIS 5.xx. The program
seems to run fine through 10 - 15 users and then spits
out errors;
Use of unitialized value at clear.user.mm line ###
Since receiving this error I've added the following to
all variables;
$variable="something" if !defined($variable);
Yet it doesn't appear that I should need this where
it's been added.
The NAMELIST file has 218 entries. (users)
The LIST file has 379 entries. (hosts)
