Maybe - provided that you tell us some marginally interesting information, like:
which OS are you using?
Which shell are you using?
Which OS are the "multiple machines" you want to create users on using?
What is your environment? (Are you using ssh? telnet? carrier pidgeons? ...)

You might want to start by creating one user on one system and note the commands you needed to do so. Then, replacing user name and target system name by variables you can set, you put these commands in a loop. You read the systems and users names from a file and re-set the variables every run of the loop to new values.

I hope this helps.
