shell script for adding multiple users on multiple servers.
 

Hi,
i want to create multiple users on multiply servers, is there anyway to create a script to do that? i have about 50 users that i need to create on 5 boxes.

i would really appreciate the help if someone can assist me with script to do that.

Thanks

Sure you can easily create a script and execute it five times on the boxes. But first would be nice to know how do you want to create those users (userids, homes, shells, groups, other defaults...), where are the usernames coming from? Do you have already something to start with?

User names are coming from other team, asking to create individual IDs for support purposes.
and i have a list of user names and list of servers.

Ok, so what have you written so far?

Oh, and if adding / deleting users on multiple servers is going to be a regular occurrence then look at FREEIPA as an option.
