Well, I may not be that fluent in bash as I used to be, but from what I 
see here, it's quite obvious. Line 39 - you have a `while read p` part 
there that waits for input from stdin. That's where you hang. How you 
managed to get to `ipa user-add` line before I am not really certain.

Did you perhaps mean to read from /tmp/passwd or /tmp/shadow on L39? :)
