USERNAME=$1
PASSWORD=$2
USERID=$3
GROUP=$4
EXPECTED_ARGS=4

OUT_FILE=.create_users_$$ />
if [ $# -ne $EXPECTED_ARGS ]
then
  echo "Usage: `basename $0` <username> <password> <uid> <group1,group2>" />  exit 65
fi

VE_LIST=$(/usr/sbin/vzlist -H -o veid)

for VE in ${VE_LIST}
do
    &nbsp;   vzctl exec $VE \
    &nbsp;    &nbsp;    &nbsp; "echo useradd -u $USERID -G $GROUP -p \''`openssl passwd -1 $PASSWORD`'\' $USERNAME > /tmp/${OUT_FILE} ; \
    &nbsp;    &nbsp;    &nbsp; sh /tmp/${OUT_FILE} ; \
    &nbsp;    &nbsp;    &nbsp; rm -f /tmp/${OUT_FILE}"
done
