In This line , if I understood correctly you are trying to append $oldline and $username both to smb.conf

echo $oldline && echo $username  >> /etc/samba/smb.conf

however, it will only append $username to smb.conf, you probably want to make it in two lines ,
eg.


echo $oldline >> /etc/samba/smb.conf
echo $username  >> /etc/samba/smb.conf

or if you want them on the same line, you would have to combine the variables and echo new variable into the smb.conf

newline=${oldline}${username}
echo $newline >> /etc/samba/smb.conf


Thank you
