adding multiple users with pwage

[brian_31]

I have a need to add multiple users (about 90 users) with the gecos field having the first_name, last_name and also enable passwd aging for these new id's. we just use the normal /etc/passwd file. is there a way this can be automated? could someone please help.

THanks

Hello Brian,

Yes, it can be done. Many useful scripts
exist around. If you search this forum,
I am sure you will get lot of hits.

Personally, I wrote a Perl script to do it:
