ah, but the -p switch will require the encrypted form of the password, if you 
are using shadow ( i have been caught out by this), but i suppose this is 
scriptable (I haven't tried).
--------------from man useradd------------------------------------
-p passwd
The encrypted password, as returned by crypt(3).
The default is  to  disable  the account.
