Nope! It's more fun by hand!
Of course. Especially on a busy multi user server: You load /etc/shadow into your editor. At that time, five users decide to change their passwords. Now you just created the new account, write back /etc/shadow and all the password changes get lost. Now five people will call the administrator that there is some hacker that has modified their passwords. If this meets your definition of "fun", then create new users by hand.
Modify:
/etc/group /etc/passwd /etc/shadow
Create a home directory and copy everything from skeleton ( /etc/skel )
