Sorry for the previous empty message. Pressed the retuen key by accident. My question: Can I use YaST2 when I need to add many users at once, or is it better to user some script, or should I write my own script?

Can I use YaST2 when I need to add many users at once, Yes , if you love boring, repetive actions. or is it better to user some script, I am sure there are some around. or should I write my own script? That is simple, too.
