Hi. I've got a list of usernames, in the format that adduser wants them in a file. username groupname '' 'Full Name' password I've tried a command like cat file | xargs -n5 adduser -group groupname -shell nologin -batch, but this doesn't work quite nicely. Does anybody have a better solution for me ? I need users created, and their usernames appended to the group, and a home directory created. Any ideas ?
