This is interesting, why do you suggest using the same tools? The reason
I ask is a friend wrote a perl script for adding 400 of our student
accounts from a .csv file. He has another script for adding the
smbpasswd. If what you say is true then I will need to keep track of
what accounts were created with which tool.

Also has anyone tried createusers from http://www.lfsp.org/users.html
