   Question fo ya folks,

   I've been using an UN*X box for a while, and it has all the user
   configuration bells and whistles.  the simplest of which is addusr from the
   shell.  I just loaded NetBSD/Mac68k on my machine at home just for fun
   mostly, but It doesn't have an adduser function!  I read the faq and it
   says that you have to do it manually.  Is this crazy?  There has to be an
   easier way!

   What do you folks think?  Any good solutions?

Switch to OpenBSD and you get an adduser script.
