they need to be local ( OR... use pam_smb ... but that is a whole other ball
of wax.... )

awk is your friend, ( just one way ) heck, you should only need to type
about 3 lines to any number of users setup :)

here is even a one liner:
###########
scp $machine_with_accounts:/etc/passwd /tmp/pp ; awk -F: '{if $3 > 500 {
useradd $1; }}' /tmp/pp ; rm -f /tmp/pp ;pwck
###########
