Command line options have been fashioned to be similar 618099Spstto those used by the Sun/shadow commands: useradd, usermod, userdel, 718099Spstgroupadd, groupmod, groupdel, but combines all operations within the 818099Spstsingle command `pw'. 918099Spst 1018099SpstUser add mode also provides a means of easily setting system useradd 1118099Spstdefaults (see pw.conf.5), so that adding a user is as easy as issuing 1218099Spstthe command "pw useradd <loginid>". Creation of a unique primary 1318099Spstgroup for each user and automatic memberhip in secondary groups 1418099Spstis fully supported. 1518099Spst 1618099SpstThis program may be FreeBSD specific, but should be trivial to port to 1718099Spstother bsd4.4 variants. 1851622Sphantom 1951622SphantomAuthor and maintainer: David L.
