>I was wondering if anyone still has one of those shell scripts for adding 
users

Here is one which was derived from MkLinux's adduser script ( Thanks to 
Ian A. Murdock).  Note that it expects a sample user directory in 
/etc/skel ( instead of /usr/share/skel which contains the NetBSD sample 
directory).  You should only treat this script as a sample, and customize 
it for yourself.
