I wrote a few lines of perl to automate account creation working from
a list of userid's. I've cut out the relevant part (hopefully from a
good version :). You get the idea; of course it's not sh, but perl is
all over.
open(NAME, "< $file") || die "couldn't open $file: $!\n";
while (<NAME>) {
chomp;
`echo $_ | pw usermod -n $_ -h 0`;
}
close(NAME) || die "couldn't close names: $!\n";
