I am unable to adapt use the adduser in the script below.

Does anyone have any suggestions for using the adduser in the script below?

useradd does not enable everything needed for remote access

#!/bin/bash

if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
echo "Please supply a user name"
echo "Example: " $0 "jsmith"
exit
fi

# Declare local variables, generate random password.

newuser=$1
randompw=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 8 | head -n 1)

# Create new user and assign random password.

useradd -m $newuser
#adduser $newuser
echo $newuser:$randompw | chpasswd
echo "Login:" $newuser "has been created with the following password:" $randompw

#mkdir /home/$newuser

echo "mail">email:"

read mail">emailuser

echo "Login:" $newuser". password:" $randompw | mail -v -s "mensagem" -r " "  $mail">emailuser
