- Try Virtual User from Apple, It lets you script a series of typing
- clicks etc. (Apple designed it as a testing/bug finding tool).
- You can generate the script using say awk then use virtual
- user to perform the actions to add the users. Peter Dodd from the
- University of Western Australia has been using this to add students
- to AppleShare file servers each session.
