Either a script or any help would be great. Thanks

is this homework? for fear that it is, check out "man adduser"
you'll notice that all the options you need are there.
after that, you'll just need a little loop, kinda like (pseudo-esque code):
Code:
for i in 1 to 400
$ii = $i +3000
adduser <options>
end
being that you have $i going from 1-400 and $ii going from 3001-3401, it should be straight forward to see how to put this all together.
test with echos before you acually do it, i.e. instead of the adduser line, do something like
echo "adduser <options>"
and see that it prints out the command correctly.
Good luck!
