### Introduction
As a Linux system administrator, you will sometimes have to add new user account to your system. To do so, `adduser` command is often used. When it comes to multiple users' creation, `adduser` command may become boring and time-consuming. This short article intends to provide the Linux system administrator with a simple and unattended way for bulk user creation. The `newusers` command will help you to create multiple users by getting their info from a prefilled file.
### Requirements
Privileged access to your Linux machine
### Conventions
# - requires given command to be executed with root privileges either directly as a root user or by use of `sudo` command
$ - given command to be executed as a regular non-privileged user
### How to proceed
### Create a file containing the usernames
In this initial step, you need to create a file that will contain the list of the usernames that are to be created.
```
$ vi users-list.txt
```
Put in your file, one user info per line, following the pattern below:
```
Username:Password:User ID:Group ID:User Info:Home Directory:Default Shell
Username:Password:User ID:Group ID:User Info:Home Directory:Default Shell
Username:Password:User ID:Group ID:User Info:Home Directory:Default Shell
...
```
### Create users
After having created the previous file with predefined users info, use `newusers`command to create users.
```
# newusers users-list.txt
```
### Check user accounts
Finally you can confirm that the users were created correctly, by looking for their presence in the `/etc/passwd` file:
```
# tail /etc/passwd
```
