I need a program that will read in user information from a file, then use that information to create or delete user accounts for Linux machines. The format being used in the user information file is. firstName:lastName:dateOfBirth:status:studentID:decision. For example John:Doe:01-10-80:freshman:123-45-6789:c. The status field will determine what group the user is added to, with groups being faculty, staff, and student. The decision field is a character flag to determine if the user account should be created or not. The format for creating the account needs to be [first initial][last name][last two digits of studentID]. Ex. John Doe ID#123-45-6789 would be jdoe89. The password for the account will be the users date of birth without the dashes.
