I actually have been working on it.   I decided to change the way the 
setting of the user
is handled completely so the script now recursively calls itself if the 
user has been set
and needs to be changed.   This simplifies the script and makes it 
easier to guarantee
that everything is set up correctly.

Neale, thanks for bringing up your thread from last year.  It was useful 
to go back and
see what I had been thinking at the time.   From reading my response, it 
looks like I
had thought it all out but had not been taking into account the 
possibility of running
as a user which had a password from a non-root user.  That should be handled
correctly now.
Here is a link to that thread:

Could you guys take a look at the new script that I have attached and 
give it a try?
If there are any requested changes, now is the time to put them in.

The only thing I don't like about it as is is that you will be prompted 
for a password
even if the script will do nothing other than show its usage.  Fixing 
that is possible,
but it would complicate the script.  Not really sure if it matters.

Cheers,
Leif
