I'm sure some of you have added users manually in Solaris even though we are
supposed to use this admintool.  I know there are several files that need to 
be edited in order to accomplish this.  I also know that system sometimes
complains when you do this.   I was wondering is there a easy way to do this?
Has anyone done it?  Could anyone help?  We are going to be adding lots of 
users and using the admintool for each one is a pain.  We only have one of our
servers are Solaris2.3 now but I know we won't stay that way forever.

Thanks in advance.
