I got fed up of adding users by hand. So I have written a *small*
C program to do it for me. (Since I add far too many suers to my
system anyway, this was a good plan).

Notes:

	(1)	It uses system, so is inherently insecure. Thus
		you should probably protect the program fairly
		well as well if you are going to seriously use it.

	(2)	It doesnt copy files into the users directory.

	(3)	All home directories are placed in /home/<group>/<user>

It is available from rachel.ibmpcug.co.uk::~ftp/src/usr.sbin/adduser
