Hello
How can we add more than one users (bulk users) at a time with using the linux built in commands.

Are you trying to clone all the users from one system to another?

Can you use the "useradd" program from the shadow-utils package?

man useradd

hi umar!

That's an interesting question, since there does not seem to be a "built-in" command for this purpose in Linux.

Achieving this goal should not be a big problem, I suppose, supported you read the man pages carefully and write a script of your own

Or try to find out such a script on the net. I have a feeling that there must be people aroung having written such a script. The question is only how and where to find their scripts.

Good luck,
