I'm not good at linux, may be you can try below stuff
cat users.txt | \
while read userid
do
useradd $userid
done
i hope useradd is not an interactive program. But passwd program needs to be invoked for each and every user to assign password or the users can change their password on first longin.. but not sure whether we have a better solution.

SYNOPSIS
eurephiadm users --list|-l [-S|--sort <sort keys>]
eurephiadm users --show|-s [-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>] [-l|-|-lastlog] [-L|--lastlog-details] [-a|--attempts]
[-b|--blacklist]
eurephiadm users --activate|-a [-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
eurephiadm users --deactivate|-d [-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]

<certificate SHA1 digest>] [-c|--certfile <certificate file>] [-2|--pkcs12]
eurephiadm users --delete|-D [-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
eurephiadm users --password|-p [-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
eurephiadm users [-h|--help [<mode>]]
DESCRIPTION
eurephiadm users manages eurephia user accounts. It provides an interface for listing, creating new, modify and delete user accounts.
MODES
Available modes:
-l | --list
[-S|--sort <sort keys>]
List all user accounts. Providing -S|--sort and a sort key will define the sort order of the list. Valid sort keys are:
uid - user ID
username - User name belonging to the user account
activated - When the user account was activated
deactivated - When the user account was deactivated
lastaccess - When the user account was last used
-s | --show
[-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>] [-l|--lastlog] [-L|--lastlog-details] [-a|--attempts] [-b|--blacklist]
Show user account details. --uid or --username are required. The other arguments only defined which kind of information to show.
-a | --activate
[-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
Activate a user account. --uid or --username is required.
-d | --deactivate
[-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
Deactivate a user account. --uid or --username is required.
-A | --add
[-u|--username <user name>] [-P|--password <plain text password>] [-C|--certid <certificate ID>] [-D|--digest <certificate SHA1
digest>] [-c|--certfile <certificate file>] [-2|--pkcs12]
Add a new user account. --username is required. If you want to assign a password for the new user account via the command line,
provide the password with --password.
To associate this user account against an already regstistered certificate, it can be done by either refering to the certificate ID
in eurephia using --certid or providing the certificate SHA1 digest/fingerprint to --digest.
A brand new certificate can be registered and linked to the user account directly if you have access to the certificate file. The
file can be in either PEM/DER format or PKCS#12. Use --certfile to indicate the certificate file to extract the information from
and --pkcs12 if it is a PKCS#12 file.
-D | --delete
[-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
Delete a user account. --uid or --username is required.
-p | --password
[-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
Change password on a user account. --uid or --username is required.
-h | --help
[<mode>]
Show a help screen. Without any arguments, all modes are listed. Providing a mode will show more information about the chosen
mode.
