*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
