Hi,
    I am wondering if it is possible to add users using a shell script.
I am currently
setting up a FreeBSD file server with SAMBA in a local high school,
which has
around 1000 computer students (in various classes).  I figured that it
would be a
pain in the butt to manually add 1000 users and create 1000 dirs.  In
addition, is
there anyway to increase the 8-lower-case letter username limitation?

My current FreeBSD system is 2.2.8 with Samba 1.9.18p10.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you in advance.

Frankie
