multiples users from text file scripted

[karlochacon]

hi

I am using this workaround maybe someone has a better a idea but this is What I am doing creating multiples users scripting


I got a text file name users

users text file
userid Description

mmaria Accounting Department
lana   Production Department

and I am using this script to create the users and assign a Description
but the command useradd is not doing anything not adding users neitehr description

while IFS= read -r l1 l2 l3
do
useradd -c "$l2 $l3" $l1
done <users

please some ideas

thanks a lot
