The issue with the passwd-grp.sh script seems to be the last two lines. [ "$created_passwd" = "yes" ] && /bin/chgrp --silent root /etc/passwd [ "$created_group" = "yes" ] && /bin/chgrp --silent root /etc/group I verified that $created_passwd and $created_group were both no so both conditionals will fail. But because the last conditional is the last thing run, the script returns 1. Adding an exit 0 to the script fixes it, but I'm not sure if that accomplishes what you want from the script.
