This is what I do:


#! /bin/bash

mkpasswd -d -u $1 | sed -e 's/:\([A-Za-z0-9_-]\+\),\([A-Za-z0-9_-]\+\),U-/:\2\1,U-/g' >> /etc/passwd



Save that as "adduser.sh", then you can just "adduser.sh billy".

The sed script is to turn real names from Lastname, Firstname
to Firstname Lastname, since the extra comma causes issues.  If that
isn't an issue for you, then remove the sed script.
