- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .PP
- The
- .B adduser
- program creates a new user account. This involves gathering
- information for the account (user's name, password, etc.), creating an
- entry for the user in the password file, creating and initializing the
- user's home directory, and adding the user's account to the
- .B sprite-users
- mailing list.
- .PP
- .B Adduser
- is basically menu-driven; its usage should be self-explanatory. If it
- runs into problems or you kill it halfway through, it will try to
- clean up after itself.
-
- .SH KEYWORDS
- user, account
