[K12OSN] creating accounts

[NONE NONE]

Thank you, that works!

Now, I must be an idiot because the script doesn't work (though now the commands themselves, pasted individually, do!).

Here is my test script:

#! /bin/bash

groupadd grade1

useradd -c "A Student" -m -G grade1 astudent

echo "apassword" | passwd --stdin astudent

I run it with "sh -x filename" and it outputs:

+ groupadd $'grade1\r'
 is a not a valid group name
+ useradd -c 'A Student' -m -G grade1 $'astudent\r'
useradd: unknown group grade1
+ echo apassword
+ passwd --stdin astudent
passwd: Unknown user name 'astudent'.

I'm guessing the problem is I don't know anything about the syntax it is expecting. Sorry for the dumb question, how do I fix this?
