o more options
o less restrictive, you can choise uid, gid ...
o invite user into some groups
o encrypted passwords with crypt
o batch mode (for instance, this works now:
$ adduser -batch jkh guest,uuadmin "Jordan K. Hubbard" passwd
see manpage for more details)

Add a `-p' option, allowing the super-user to directly set a user's
encrypted password. Kerberized `login' might use this, if I get around
to implementing the complete Allspice System behavior.

o save configuration in /etc/adduser.conf

Maintain pw_fields, and output same to password database.

NB

You MUST pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd before attempting to use the new
libc, or things may go wrong. (I doubt anything actually /will/ go
wrong, but the actual behavior is undefined. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.)
The database format is, however, backwards-compatible, so old executables
will still work.
