New problem with that approach (but it looks better, at least):
adduser bingo
Adding user bingo...
Adding new user bingo (1002) with group users.
NIS Map update started on Thu Oct 9 09:24:32 EDT 1997

Updating netid.byname...
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/yp/jdweb.com'
NIS Map update completed.
Creating home directory /home/bingo.
Copying files from /etc/skel
Changing YP password for bingo on epage.
Please enter old password:
Changing YP password for bingo on epage.
Please enter new password:
Please retype new password:
Error while changing YP password.
The YP password has not been changed on epage.
adduser: `passwd bingo' returned error code 256. Aborting.
Cleaning up.
Removing directory `/home/bingo'
Removing user `bingo'.
