Nope! It's more fun by hand! Modify: /etc/group /etc/passwd /etc/shadow Create a home directory and copy everything from skeleton ( /etc/skel ) Once you know how to do it by hand, try the easy way. But if you're using SuSE... why don't use yast? In System Administration you can choose "User Administration" or something similar (I use a non English version...)
Thanks to everyone who pointed out this command. (and I thought _Linux in a NUTSHELL_ had all the answers!)

Hi all!
useradd If you have to add many users you can also use newusers. You find the sources in the shadow-packages.

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 )
