Does anyone out there have a robust easy to use script that would automate the adding of users to a system . If so, would you be willing to share a copy with me.?? Thanks Susanne B.

We have spent 3 or four years working on scripts to this.
They are adapted to creating a class of students at one go.
You may have to change the names and dirctories of the prototype
dot files - which are where SCO Xenix/386 (1989) puts'em.
You may also have to change the ..BE field to something else (RTFM).
Disclaimer....This has survived much but is still evolving...use with care...
and don't blame us if it goes wrong...
