yes, I don't want to have to manually add those command line options
each time.  I am currently just writing a wrapper script to do it.  read
in $username, grab the first 2 characters as individual variables, then
execute useradd -D /home/$one/$two/$username  (I ask for 2 levels of
naming since that is what the Well uses so I thought there might be
available tools for that format already)

I have a load of users on a public server, and I also have five 4 gig
u/w scsi disks that aren't doing much, so I am experimenting with
spreading the homedirs out like so:
/home/[a-d] -> /mnt/disk1/[a-d] 
/home/[e-h] -> /mnt/disk2/[e-h]
etc
