Script for the creation of multiple user accounts

2010-12-12 Thread OpenBSD Geek 
Hi,

I want to be able to create with a batch file multiple user accounts like
for example inca1,inca2 ... inca6

useradd -d /home/inca1 -s /bin/ksh -m -G incagroup -p passwordencrypted
user1
useradd -d /home/inca1 -s /bin/ksh -m -G incagroup -p passwordencrypted
user2
useradd -d /home/inca1 -s /bin/ksh -m -G incagroup -p passwordencrypted
user3
useradd -d /home/inca1 -s /bin/ksh -m -G incagroup -p passwordencrypted
user4
useradd -d /home/inca1 -s /bin/ksh -m -G incagroup -p passwordencrypted
user5
useradd -d /home/inca1 -s /bin/ksh -m -G incagroup -p passwordencrypted
user6

Is there a way more simple to achieve this task ?
Same password for all 6 accounts *
Thanks

This is not OpenBSD specific but check jot(1) and xargs(1).

Something like

jot -w user 6 | xargs -n 1 useradd ...

Will do.
