hi all,

can someone show me how to implement the `-h' option in a script? i'm
currently testing this script:

#!/bin/sh
#
while read username first middle last password
do
    fullname="$first $middle. $last"
    ...
    /usr/sbin/pw useradd $username -k /usr/share/uskel -s /sbin/nologin \
        -d $homedir -c $fullname -m
done

how do i change their password non-interactively? BTW, is it normal for
the UID to have the same value if the -N option is used during the entire 
lifetime of the script?

thanks!
