Look into this and suggest if any changes needed

Hi,
I am new script programming, I have written a script shown velow to read username and passwd from /etc/security/passwd, i am able to read username, but unable to grep lastupdate. please look into the code and suggest if any changes need.

#!/bin/ksh

USERNAME=""
fname=/usr/bin/lastupdate
ftemp=./temp

cat /etc/security/passwd | \
while read LINE
do
echo "$LINE" > fstring
USERWORDCNT=`grep ":" fstring | wc -w`
if [ $USERWORDCNT = 1 ]
then
USERNAME=$LINE
fi
UPDATEWORDCNT=`grep "lastupdate" fstring | wc -w`
if [ $UPDATEWORDCNT = 1 ]
then
UPDATE=`cat fstring | cut -d= -f2`
echo "$UPDATE"
STRING=$USERNAME$UPDATE
echo $STRING >> $fname
USERNAME=""
UPDATE=""
fi
done
chmod 666 $fname

Note: The output of programme should write username and lastupdate values ony to another new file in this format as shown below:

UPDATE-PROFILE-CACHE(1) 				      General Commands Manual					   UPDATE-PROFILE-CACHE(1)

NAME

       update-profile-cache - (re)generate profile assignment cache

SYNOPSIS

       update-profile-cache

DESCRIPTION

       Running	this  script  (re)generates the cache of profile assignments used by desktop-profiles. By default this script is run automatically
       once a day by a cron script.

       NOTE:  No cache of assignments will be generated in cases where cache use isn't supported by desktop-profiles (at the moment  caching  pro-
	      file  assingments  is  only  supported in the simple case when no group or command requirements are used for activation of profiles,
	      i.e. when we have a static machine-wide profile assignment).

FILES

       /etc/desktop-profiles/*.listing - Files containing the metadata about installed profiles

       /etc/default/desktop-profiles - File containing default settings for this script
