SUMMARY: Re: Shell Script to add multiple users with same password

Much thanks to eveyones response regarding this question.  I have 
included the small script that I wrote to take care of this problem. 
 Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

Thanks again,
Simran

#!/bin/sh

ALPHA=$1
count=$2
NUM2=$3
UID=1002

while [ $count -le $NUM2 ]
do
        echo "$1$count:x:$UID:1:User 
$1$count:/export/home/$1$count:/bin/sh" >> /etc/passwd
        echo "$1$count:WafjZ5pUd5j7U:::::::" >> /etc/shadow
        mkdir /export/home/$1$count
        cp /etc/skel/local.login /export/home/$1$count/.login
        cp /etc/skel/local.profile /export/home/$1$count/.profile
        cp /etc/skel/local.cshrc /export/home/$1$count/.cshrc
        chown -R $1$count:1 /export/home/$1$count
        count=`expr $count + 1`
        UID=`expr $UID + 1`
done
