Just a few comments on the scripts:
create_accts.sh does not do what its name promises, it rather loops through all files in the directory given, prints each file's name and its contents, word by word. To put it better, it would do that, weren't there some errors in the script that make it unuseable. Please give a warm hearted thank you to your predecessor!
new.sh seems to set up a user account after checking if already present or not. The only flaw I see is that it encrypts the password before passing it to useradd which would encrypt it again, making the whole thing unuseable again.
undoscript.pl is the most useless compilation of perl commands I've ever seen.
