Hi all! We just this morning got a new Unix box (BSD) to replace our aging SCO 
Unix box. I was wondering if there is something like SCO's "sysadmsh"  to set 
up new users interactively through a menuing system? Currently what I am using 
is vipw which is nothing but vi on the /etc/passwd file which is messy to say 
the least. Do we have something on the new machine that I am not aware of or 
will some kind soul please point me to someplace where I can download the same 
(shell script, binary, etc).

TIA,
Chris Fullinfaw
