[JDEV] Creating new users and Groups

[Michael French]

    I have just setup Jabber 1.2 on a Redhat linux box for my company.  We
plan on using it just internally.  I have two questions.

1.  What would be the easy way to create a large group of users without
having each of them logging in and doing it themselves.  I would like to
create all the users myself and just give them the loggins, that way I can
create standardized logins.

2.  I want to be able to create groups of users for different departments.
I want to be able to push these groups out so that each users is not
creating their own.  I don't mind them adding there own groups once they
start using the system, I just want a couple of groups that are default and
that everyone has.  How can I do this?

Thanks for the help!  This list has been great at giving help and advice to
a jabber newbie!
