By keeping your passwords in a recoverable form in the script, and including code to recover them in your script, you're giving would-be crackers step-by-step instructions to obtain your password.

chmod 600 is better security than this.

EXAMPLES

     -dsenableroot
	      Your username will be used and you will be queried for both your password and the new root password to be set to enable the root
	      account.

     -dsenableroot -d
	      Your username will be used and you will be queried for only your password to disable the root account.
