I have an ssh server that has a user named newuser. When bash starts, I run this Lua script.

Don't worry about the verify == "*". I just blocked out the verification keyword. Anyways, the error I get is:

Posted: 13 Oct 2012 11:29:19 am (GMT -5)
I have an ssh server that has a user named newuser. When bash starts, I run this Lua script.
Code:
log = io.open("/etc/.users_created", "W")
os.execute("clear")
print("Welcome to Closet Server!")
print("------------------------------")
io.write("What's your full name? (Type n! is you don't want to): ")
fullName = io.read()
io.write("What will your login be?: ")
login = io.read()
io.write("What will your password be?: ")
passwd = io.read("*")
io.write("One more thing. Who is Brett's favorite pokemon?: ")
verify = io.read()
if string.lower(verify) == "*" then
print()
print("Okay! Please wait, we are creating your account")
os.execute([[sudo useradd ]] ..login.. [[ -p ]] ..password.. [[ -m]])
log.write([[Full Name: ]] ..fullName.. [[/nUser: ]] ..login.. [[/nPasswd: ]] ..passwd.. [[/n/n]])
print("You are now a user on Closet Server! Press enter to logout.")
io.read()
else
print()
print("You did not verify correctly.")
print("GTFO.")
print("Press enter to logout.")
io.read()
end
os.execute("exit")
Don't worry about the verify == "*". I just blocked out the verification keyword. Anyways, the error I get is:
Code:
lua: newuser_script:11: bad argument #1 to `read' (invalid format)
stack traceback:
[C]: in function `read'
newuser_script:11: in main chunk
[C]: ?
What's up with that?
