lat-users - The lazy administrator's tool to add user accounts
==DESCRIPTION==
Creates or deletes user accounts on Mitel's SME servers (5.x/6.x).
This tool is functionally equivalent to the 'User accounts' option in
the server-manager, but can be run from the command line or called from
an other script. It allows you, for example, to create a large number
of accounts in a batch process, or delete accounts on a remote machine
via an ssh console.
See /usr/doc/lazy-admin-tools/example.users for the format of the input
file.
