From 31e81b12fa7bca6f944d8831d6dca70de59a5154 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yaroslav Tykhiy Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2002 16:37:35 +0000 Subject: Remove the newly added -force option because it made adduser(8) less robust to possible errors of the user/admin while adduser(8) had been intended to minimize their possibility. An alternative way of introducing strange symbols into usernames to be committed really soon. --- adduser/adduser.8 | 8 -------- 1 file changed, 8 deletions(-) (limited to 'adduser/adduser.8') diff --git a/adduser/adduser.8 b/adduser/adduser.8 index 435d16c..71078a3 100644 --- a/adduser/adduser.8 +++ b/adduser/adduser.8 @@ -37,7 +37,6 @@ .Op Fl class Ar login_class .Op Fl config_create .Op Fl dotdir Ar dotdir -.Op Fl f | force .Op Fl group Ar login_group .Op Fl h | help .Op Fl home Ar home @@ -61,9 +60,6 @@ directory, dotfiles and sends the new user a welcome message. .It Sy username Login name.
