Tony - Thanks for the tip. I also received (on another list, courtesy of Thomas Chung) a script that has the advantage of creating the users' home directories without specifying them in the new user file. For a file of new users called "students", with usernames in the first column and passwords in the second column:
#!/bin/sh
for i in $(awk '{print $1}' students)
do
useradd $i
grep $i students |awk'{print $2}'| passwd --stdin $i
done
