Thanks for the reply Scrutinizer
There is a typo in the script posted, there is a $ before status in the actual script I couldnt copy and paste from the VM so i had to retype the script out and missed that, i will try and edit the post. When i say it worked fine i meant it created the users and the groups. I'm sure there is a more correct way to do it.
The header is not in the file i just listed it to show what each field is called.
I didnt know that firstname surname etc were actually variables
The tutorials i looked at showed the = doubled up so i just followed that.
I did look at the man pages but my problem (apart from being a noob) in reference to deleting the accounts is i dont know where to call the users from. When i created the accounts i knew to call the data from the csv file but to delete i imagine you have to reference the accounts from somewhere.
I know how to delete the users individually from the command line but cant transfer this to a script
I will keep plugging away
Thanks again

debconf-mergetemplate
DEBCONF-MERGETEMPLATE(1) Debconf DEBCONF-MERGETEMPLATE(1)
NAME
debconf-mergetemplate - merge together multiple debconf template files
SYNOPSIS
debconf-mergetemplate [options] [templates.ll ...] templates
DESCRIPTION
Note: This utility is deprecated. You should switch to using po-debconf's po2debconf program.
This program is useful if you have multiple debconf templates files which you want to merge together into one big file. All the specified
files will be read in, merged, and output to standard output.
This can be especially useful if you are dealing with translated template files. In this case, you might have your main template file, plus
several other files provided by the translators. These files will have translated fields in them, and maybe the translators left in the
english versions of the fields they translated, for their reference.
So, you want to merge together all the translated templates files with your main templates file. Any fields that are unique to the
translated files need to be added in to the correct templates, but any fields they have in common should be superseded by the fields in the
main file (which might be more up-to-date).
This program handles that case properly, just list each of the translated templates files, and then your main templates file last.
OPTIONS
--outdated
Merge in even outdated translations. The default is to drop them with a warning message.
--drop-old-templates
If a translation has an entire template that is not in the master file (and thus is probably an old template), drop that entire
template.
