2219019Sgaborpw is a command-line driven passwd/group editor utility that provides
3219019Sgaboran easy and safe means of modifying of any/all fields in the system
4219019Sgaborpassword files, and has an add, modify and delete mode for user and
5219019Sgaborgroup records. Command line options have been fashioned to be similar
6219019Sgaborto those used by the Sun/shadow commands: useradd, usermod, userdel,
7219019Sgaborgroupadd, groupmod, groupdel, but combines all operations within the
8219019Sgaborsingle command `pw'.

10User add mode also provides a means of easily setting system useradd
11defaults (see pw.conf.5), so that adding a user is as easy as issuing
12the command "pw useradd <loginid>". Creation of a unique primary
13group for each user and automatic memberhip in secondary groups
14is fully supported.

16This program may be FreBSD specific, but should be trivial to port to
17other bsd4.4 variants.
