One more bug to go, but I'll deal with that tommorrow.

Bugs fixed, in case anybody wants to know. I think, when I can, I'm ready to try again with my office computer's setup.

If you add new users with command useradd
then change /etc/default/useradd
You can also do it by running

Code:

useradd -D -s /bin/bash

See also
man useradd

If you add new users with command adduser
then change /etc/adduser.conf
See also
man adduser

Regarding your script adduser.sh, alternatively you can set the shell case-by-case, by means of

Code:

useradd -s /bin/bash -c $2 -U $1

Thanks, I knew about useradd, but I don't think I can mostly use it. That's because it runs interactively through a bunch of information. I want to be able to add users programmatically and without asking further information than what I provided in a file. The second, might work in some future versions. Thanks!
