Mass User Creation

[Clay Berlo]

Perhaps to make things a bit easier for future searches, you could post
an URL for that tool to this list?  I know it gets archived and I can
find pretty much anything I know has been mentioned on it through
Google.  Googling "mass user creation" seems to get a lot of Windows
UMRA hits and mention  that "you can whip up a bash script pretty
quickly..." (but no clear howtos!).

Also, I know my script could definitely use some optimization and/or
cleaning up to make it a bit more user friendly, so perhaps between the
two sources something better will evolve.
