Benutzeraccount erstellen via Shell Script & ARD 3

[nipodrom]

Hallo zusammen

Ich möchte mit Apple Remote Desktop 3 via nicht-interaktivem Shell Script einen neuen Benutzeraccount auf einem Client-Rechnern erzeugen. Dem Script werden bereits firstname (=shortname), lastname, uid, and staff|admin als Parameter mitgegeben, was soweit auch prima funktioniert. Was nicht klappt ist, dass auch das Passwort für den Account automatisch via Script gesetzt wird. Wie gesagt kann ich eine Passwortabfrage mit Wiederholung in diesem Fall nicht gebrauchen. Wäre toll, wenn mir jemand weiterhelfen könnte.

Grüsse, nipodrom

Hier ist das Original-Script:

#!/bin/bash

# Create a user.
# Takes the user's firstname (=shortname), lastname, uid, and staff|admin
# and creates:
# a new user in NetInfo passwd
# a new /Users/firstname home directory

usage ()
{
  echo "Create a new staff or admin user"
  echo "Usage: ${0##*/} firstname lastname uid staff|admin"
  if [ "$*" != "" ]; then echo "  Error: $*"; fi
  exit 1
}


# The script must be run by root
#
if [ "$USER" != "root" ]; then
  echo "Must be run as root."
  exit 1
fi


# Check parameters
#
if [ $# -ne 4 ]; then
  usage
fi

first=$1; last=$2; uid=$3; accnt=$4

# check that the users does not already have a home directory
if [ -e /Users/$first ]; then
  usage "User $first already exists at /Users/$first"
fi

# search NetInfo for the given user - it should not exist
str="$(nireport . /users name | grep -w $first)"
if [ ! -z "$str" ]; then
  usage "User $first already exists (but does not have a home directory)"
fi

# search NetInfo for the given uid - it should not exist
str="$(nireport . /users uid | grep -w $uid)"
if [ ! -z "$str" ]; then
  usage "User ID $uid already exists"
fi

# search NetInfo for the given group - it should not exist
str="$(nireport . /groups name | grep -w $first)"
if [ ! -z "$str" ]; then
  usage "Group $first already exists"
fi

# search NetInfo for the given gid - it should not exist
str="$(nireport . /groups gid | grep -w $uid)"
if [ ! -z "$str" ]; then
    usage "Group ID $uid already exists"
fi

# ensure either staff or admin is given
if [ $4 != staff ] && [ $4 != admin ]; then
  usage "Give account type as 'staff' or 'admin'"
fi

#

#

  dscl . merge /groups/appserveradm users $first
  echo "$first added to groups admin, appserverusr, appserveradm"
fi


# Create the home directory, populate from the template, and set owners
#
mkdir /Users/$first
if [ ! -d /Users/$first ]; then
  echo "Unable to create the user's home directory /Users/$first"
  exit
fi

ditto -rsrc /System/Library/User\ Template/German.lproj/ /Users/$first

# Now give the user a password
