I'm doing research on creating new users on a debian radius server
using a bash script. I've been looking at adduser and useradd
commands today, but can't seem to figure out how to fit it together.
Adduser is an interactive command and for some reason the useradd
command doesn't seem to be creating users correctly in order to
authenticate. I've read the man pages on these commands. Any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks.
