you could look at getprpw and logins, I suppose you would have to combine both in your script...
good luck

NAME
grab-account - add new account synchronised to remote system
SYNOPSIS
grab-account local-user source [remote-user]
DESCRIPTION
grab-account reconfigures sync-accounts to start synchronising a specified local user (which may not yet exist) from a specified remote
system, and then invokes sync-accounts once to synchronise from that source.
/etc/sync-accounts/createuser should contain a addhere line in the appropriate source section (ie, after host source). grab-account adds a
user local-user [remote=remote-user]
directive just before addhere and runs sync-accounts source.
EXIT STATUS
0 All went well.
any other
There were problems.
FILES
/etc/sync-accounts; See also sync-accounts(8).
ENVIRONMENT
See sync-accounts(8).
BUGS
There is no locking of /etc/sync-accounts so do not invoke grab-account from a script, or more than once at a time by hand. Do not edit
/etc/sync-accounts by hand and also simultaneously run grab-account.
The mechanism involving addhere is suboptimal. This should be done with an include feature in sync-accounts, so that grab-account does not
have to edit a configuration file that really belongs to the sysadmin.
