### 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
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
