Randy,
 
Have you used Webmin?  I use Webmin and the bulk user add utility.  You
just import a CSV file into the script and it adds each user, creates
home directory, etc.

I have a server with ubuntu 6.06 on it. I ran the smbldap-installer
script and have it set up as my pdc. I created over 800 users useing
the
bulk add scripts that came with the installer. I noticed however that
it
did not create any home directory for these users. If I manually create
a
single user everything is fine home directory is created. I need to
have
home directories for these users. I need this fixed fast as school
starts
next week. Everything worked fine last year when I had it all running
on
fedora. This summer I switched it all over to ubuntu and have had
nothing
but headaches. I need help fast. Thanks for any input.
