Hi,

I've just now added the adduser to FreeBSD 2.0C.  This should still work
with 1.X and with the other BSD's.  It does use the *BSD shadow password
system.  You will also have to grab the adduser.conf and userids files
out of /etc/*.

NOTE: All this command does is:
1. Create the passwd file entry
2. Allow you to enter the password
3. Create user home directory
4. Copy skeleton shell setup files

This is has been cut down from my original adduser that is in under
FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 /contrib/adduser.
