Hm ... is this reasonably secure?  It seems like it's creating user
accounts with well-known passwords.  The accounts might not be there
for long, but still, I'm not sure I'd care to run this against an
installed server on a machine with hostile users present.

(The problem might have been there even before your patch, but that
doesn't mean it's not a problem.)
