1. script

   #!/bin/bash
   # ***********************
   # museradd v0.0 16/01/018
   # ***********************

   ##################################
   while read gebruiker
   do
   echo $gebruiker
   useradd -m $gebruiker
   passwd $gebruiker < passwdfile
   done < userfile

    

2. files
    
   Create two textfiles:
   userfile contains a list of users (one per line)
   passwdfile contains a default password (twice because passwd needs it twice)
    
   user@cassandra ~ $ cat userfile

   yoren
   waldo
   gunther
   lynn
   sarah

    
   user@cassandra ~ $ cat passwdfile

   qwerty123
   qwerty132

    

3. parameters
    
   should be modified to use parameters for userfile and passwdfile
