To add a group of new users with similar uid, use script ""ldapBatchAddUser.py"" placed in "/opt/scripts/". You will have to run as root, and keep in mind the following things.
This program helps to create multiple user accounts on the fly.
In order to use it, you have to provide some basic information
of the new accounts. The new accounts will be named as "BASE$N",
in which "BASE" is the base name, and $N is the count. You have
to specify the starting number of $N. Users' home directory
will be /home/BASE/BASE$N, and bear in mind that this program
does not create /home/BASE automatically. Also, you have to take
care of the UID and GID issues yourself.
Modify the program yourself to make it better suit your need.
Use CTRL+C to interrupt the program when typing something wrong.
