[SLE] Mass useradd & password assignment



I need to add 25 users to a machine. I have this script to add the users, but
how do I initilize their passwords without manually entering each user/password?

-------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

useradd -g ics-184 user1
useradd -g ics-184 user2
useradd -g ics-184 user3
useradd -g ics-184 user4
useradd -g ics-184 user5
[snip]
-------------------------------
(User's names have been changed.)

Thanks in advance.
