-.Os BSD 4
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm adduser
-.Nd procedure for adding new users
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-A new user must choose a login name, which must not already appear in
-.Pa /etc/passwd
-or
-.Pa /etc/aliases .
-It must also not begin with the hyphen
-.Ql Fl
-character.
-It is strongly recommended that it be all lower-case, and not contain
-the dot
-.Ql \&.
-character, as that tends to confuse mailers.
-An account can be added by editing a line into the passwd file; this
-must be done with the password file locked e.g. by using
-.Xr chpass 1
-or
-.Xr vipw 8 .
-.Pp
-A new user is given a group and user id.
-Login and user id's should be unique across the system, and often across
-a group of systems, since they are used to control file access.
-Typically, users working on similar projects will be put in the same groups.
-At the University of California, Berkeley, we have groups for system staff,
-faculty, graduate students, and special groups for large projects.
-.Pp
-A skeletal account for a new user
-\*(lqernie\*(rq
-might look like:
-.Bd -literal
-ernie::25:30::0:0:Ernie Kovacs,508 Evans Hall,x7925,
- 642-8202:/a/users/ernie:/bin/csh
-.Ed
-.Pp
-For a description of each of these fields, see
-.Xr passwd 5 .
-.Pp
-It is useful to give new users some help in getting started, supplying
-them with a few skeletal files such as
-.Pa \&.profile
-if they use
-.Pa /bin/sh ,
-or
-.Pa \&.cshrc
-and
-.Pa \&.login
-if they use
-.Pa /bin/csh .
-The directory
-.Pa /usr/share/skel
-contains skeletal definitions of such files.
-New users should be given copies of these files which, for instance,
-use
-.Xr tset 1
-automatically at each login.
-.Sh FILES

-User information should (and eventually will) be stored elsewhere.
-.Sh HISTORY
-The
-.Nm
-command appeared in
-.Bx 3.0 .
