Yeah i did the same, just entered them directly into the svc_acct table
via my mysql admin,
and it seems to be working happily *touch wood*

I added a Freeside System account in freeside, and then manually added
all of the necessary root,daemon,shell accounts.
I know that there is a svc_acct.import script which will gather all of
the information to the Freeside Server, but then you have to customize
their script to push it into the Database.
I found it easier to just add the 20 accounts manually.
