Script to add users to the Wired server

The ZankaSoftware OSX client includes user management features. But no other client does. I’ve written a little script that will help you generate the user credentials string that you can put into the Wired server users file. It creates a user added to the group Users with the following permissions:

• can get user info
• can’t broadcast
• can post news
• can’t clear news
• can download
• can upload
• can upload anywhere
• can create folders
• can’t move files
• can’t delete files
• can’t view drop boxes
• can’t create accounts
• can’t edit accounts
• can’t delete accounts
• can’t elevate privileges
• can’t kick users
• can’t ban users
• can be kicked
• unlimited download speed
• unlimited upload speed
• no download limit
• no upload limit
• can set chat topic

Copy the following to an executable script file called geenerateWiredPassword.sh that you execute with ./generateWiredPassword.sh login password. The output of the script can then be copied to the Wired server users file.

#!/bin/bash

#Permission strings
ADMINPERM="1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:0:0:0:0:1"
USERPERM="1:0:1:0:1:1:1:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1"
GUESTPERM="1:0:1:0:1:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0"
#Default group: "Users"

if [[ -n "$1" && -n "$2" ]] ; then
	POSPAR1="$1"
	POSPAR2="$2"
	passSHA1=$(echo -n $2 | openssl sha1)
	echo -e "\tInsert the following to your wired server users file:"
	echo -e "\t$1:$passSHA1:Users:"$USERPERM
	exit 0
else
	echo -e "\tERROR: Missing login and or password."
	echo -e "\tUSAGE: generateWiredPassword.sh login password"
	exit 1
fi
