Quite a long time ago I found a script called 'adduser' that is written
in perl, that pretty much automates the process of adding new users.
Yeah, I know there's nothing to it, but I'd like to be able to delegate
the task to someone who won't require a ton of training.

I don't remember where I got the script, but I think I still have the
distribution archive with all the docs, such as they are.  If anyone
wants it, I'll put it up for ftp someplace.  Just let me know.
