Add User Script

[Adam Ellis]

> sh test.sh useradd: invalid user name `dccut ' useradd: invalid user name
`dclam ' useradd: invalid user name `dcprep ' useradd: invalid user name
`dcshp ' 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Revised, this is command runs in the terminal:

> sh test.sh
'seradd: invalid user name `dccut
'seradd: invalid user name `dclam 
'seradd: invalid user name `dcprep 
'seradd: invalid user name `dcshp

Subject: Add User Script


I am trying to read in a list of users from a file and automatically create
users from that.  Here is what I thought would work:

#!/bin/sh
cat /mnt/PDC1-UsrSync/user.diff | while read Foo; do useradd $Foo; done

Contents of the user.diff file:

dccut
dclam
dcprep
dcshp


But here is what I get when I run the script:

> sh test.sh useradd: invalid user name `dccut ' useradd: invalid user name
`dclam ' useradd: invalid user name `dcprep ' useradd: invalid user name
`dcshp ' 

Any ideas?  Thanks,

AE
