automate useradd

Hi

I wounder if some one knows how to make a script to automate user adding?
When i am starting the script it will add user like 04pers00 and fowllowing untill that i'm quit.
The password will be a standard password typed in the file.

Sorry for my english!

Benefit of the doubt here that this isn't a homework question - you should really post what you've got so far to show you've actually made some effort to solve your own problem. Anyway...... I have a script on my site that might help a bit. It's very specific to my needs (SuSE) but will give you a shove in the right direction.

The script does things to validate which shell you enter for the user, (i.e. does it exist in /etc/shells). You may decide that you don't want this functionality in your script.

Peace
