If this is of no help, let me know.. we have a quick perl script here I
wrote quite some time ago to do this.. I could dig it up...:)  We found
the script worked better than other solutions.... just my two cents
worth (not just because I wrote the simple script <g>)

We were using adduser -batch but it's no longer supported in batch mode.

Thanks,

Paul Stewart
