In case you have useradd, here's an example of me
using it:
Code:
[root@melvin gjduff]# /usr/sbin/useradd dingbat -G dinger -s /bin/bash -p dingbat8
[root@melvin gjduff]# passwd dingbat
Changing password for user dingbat.
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
I'm adding a user named dingbat in the group dinger, and giving him
bash as a default shell.
I had to change the password. I think the -p actually takes what is
supposed to be the encrypted variation of it. No matter though.
You can just use passwd to enter it the normal way.

NEWUSERS(8) System Manager's Manual NEWUSERS(8)NAME
newusers - update and create new users in batch
SYNOPSIS
newusers [new_users]
DESCRIPTION
newusers reads a file of user name and cleartext password pairs and uses this information to update a group of existing users or to create
new users. Each line is in the same format as the standard password file (see passwd(5)) with the following exceptions.
pw_passwd This field will be encrypted and used as the new value of the encrypted password.
pw_age This field will be ignored for shadow passwords if the user already exists.
pw_gid This field may be the name of an existing group, in which case the named user will be added as a member. If a non-existent
numerical group is given, a new group will be created having this number.
pw_dir This field will be checked for existence as a directory and a new directory with the same name will be created if it does not
already exist. The ownership of the directory will be set to be that of the user being created or updated.
This command is intended to be used in a large system environment where many accounts are updated at a single time.
CAVEATS
The input file must be protected since it contains unencrypted passwords.
