Avoided awk with standard shell logic, saving another process. It should now be a little bit simpler to add new OS types to the if statement; just call the function and use upper- or lower-case 'S'. You can use other position parameters in the function for other differences in other OS types. Root access on different setups may be needed for the -a flag with the passwd command. Using passwd package 1:4.2-3.1ubuntu5.3 on an Ubuntu 16.04.3 setup, I needed root access for the -a flag. Made the message for users without passwords a more traditional, tidier ERROR message. It might be nice and handy to have a loop iterate over each username to supply both the name and the UID, perhaps other information too. If you wind up keeping the line which had awk in it, I recommend instead using cut -d " " -f 1 as it's more portable (part of coreutils).
