Full Discussion: Create a bundle of user ids

Yes, there is a way
I am assuming you are using your NIM server to create the user on multiple servers.

I am not sure if you are using a script or manually ssh'ing to each host and creating the user.

Its little tricky but it works,
Say you want the password to be abc123 (an user can change after 1st login), and you created the user (say user1) on server1, what you do now is on server1
Code:
passwd user1 --> type in abc123 (twice)
now 
cat /etc/security/passwd | grep -p user1
user1:
        password = XXXXX
        lastupdate = 1387815793

Now you will copy the password (XXXXX) (ofcourse it is not xxxx, but encrypted password), and from NIM you can add a new line to your script below mkuser command

Code:
echo "user1:XXXXX" |chpasswd -e -f ADMCHG

This will have the same password as abc123 on all the server you run the script for that user.
You will set a password and it is changeable 1st time the user login.

Note: user1 is the example I am using for user

nwvolinfo

NWVOLINFO(8)							     nwvolinfo							      NWVOLINFO(8)

NAME

       nwvolinfo - Diplay info on NetWare Volumes

SYNOPSIS

       nwvolinfo [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -v volume ] [ -N ]

DESCRIPTION

       nwvolinfo displays information on a NetWare Server Volume.

       nwvolinfo  looks  up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more informa-
       tion. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons.

OPTIONS

       -h
	  -h is used to print out a short help text.

       -S server
	  server is the name of the server you want to use.

       -U user
	  user is the user name to use for login.

       -P password
	  password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server,  nwvolinfo
	  prompts for a password.

       -n
	  -n should be given if no password is required for the login.

       -C
	  By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
	  this conversion by -C.

       -v volume
	  The volume name to be used. Defaults to 'SYS'.

       -N
	  Display the information in numeric-only format for use in a pipe.
