1219019Sgabor 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'. 9219019Sgabor 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. 15 16This program may be FreBSD specific, but should be trivial to port to 17other bsd4.4 variants. 18 19Author and maintainer: David L.
