Command line options have been fashioned to be similar +to those used by the Sun/shadow commands: useradd, usermod, userdel, +groupadd, groupmod, groupdel, but combines all operations within the +single command `pw'. + +User add mode also provides a means of easily setting system useradd +defaults (see pw.conf.5), so that adding a user is as easy as issuing +the command "pw useradd <loginid>". Creation of a unique primary +group for each user and automatic memberhip in secondary groups +is fully supported. + +This program may be FreBSD specific, but should be trivial to port to +other bsd4.4 variants. + +Author and maintainer: David L.
