Automate add user

[cludgie]

Hello all,

I have a list of dozens of new users that I'd like to create on my Ubuntu Server running 10.04. I'm still a novice and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for automating the process. I

I was thinking along the lines of saving a list of users/usernames then doing the following:

cat list | while read name
do
adduser $name.....

Or could I use expect?

Thanks
Cludgie

Running adduser non-interactively: See a (somewhat terse) solution at http://askubuntu.com/questions/94060...-interactively

You can use the newusers command. Check out its man page for details.
