What are you asking here? In general this script is too dependent on a specific environment. What if I don't have the bash shell or use sudo. Also, system administrators generally don't like to be prompted and "joe user" should not be running a script to add users so I would never hand this task off to someone not responsible for admin. There also seems to a language dependency here. Why is PS3 in a different language than the echo statements?
Not sure of the value of the functionality here. I don't mean to be negative but you asked for feedback.
