2114410Srupw is a command-line driven passwd/group editor utility that provides
318099Spstan easy and safe means of modifying of any/all fields in the system
418099Spstpassword files, and has an add, modify and delete mode for user and
518099Spstgroup records. 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.

1618099SpstThis program may be FreeBSD specific, but should be trivial to port to
1718099Spstother bsd4.4 variants.
