Creating and removing a bulk of AIX users
I have 2 node HACMP clusters and need to create and remove a bulk of AIX users for the nodes frequently. It is very time consuming to through the list (~ 100 user account per week). Please let me know if we can create and remove AIX users with a script. One thing with the cluster environment is that the UID must be the same between 2 nodes when user accounts are created.

When creating AIX user accounts:
* AIX user accounts will be defined in a .txt file
* Make the UID same between 2 nodes
* Assign the default password (i.e. changeme1234) to the accounts

Please advise.

partimaged-passwd(8)				       Partition Image Server Configuration				      partimaged-passwd(8)

NAME

       partimaged-passwd - Manage partimaged user accounts

SYNTAX

       partimaged-passwd [-Dhl] username password
       partimaged-passwd [-Dhl] username

DESCRIPTION

       partimaged can either authenticate against local user accounts (This needs access to /etc/shadow. As this is a potential security risk this
       method is not recommended) or its own password database in /etc/partimaged/passwd.db. To simplify the management  of  the  partimaged  user
       database  this tool was written. It allows to easily add and remove users or list the users in the database. All users in this database are
       allowed to access the partimaged server.

OPTIONS

       -D username
	      Delete the specified user from the password file.

       -l     List users in password file and exit.

       -h     Output help information and exit.

FILES

       /etc/partimaged/passwd.db
