I have been trying to find an adduser script that will read it's input from
a file. I used to have one but it has gone MIA.
I need to be able to set username, gid, home directory and shell.
How about just reformatting the file suitably for "useradd"?
awk -f reformat.awk < names.txt | sh
where reformat.awk is a variant of
BEGIN { FS=":" }
{ full_name = $1
user_id = $2
password = $3
printf "useradd -p '%s' -c '%s' '%s'\n",
password,
full_name,
user_id
}
