From 6d59656f4cb7401d7f1caa1d1e50b8ce449e3f4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: gabor Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2009 15:14:58 +0000 Subject: - Rename adding_user(8) to adding_user(7). There's no adding_user utility, but the man page describes conceptual information about the process of adding a user, thus it should belong to section 7. - Remove HISTORY and BUGS sections because of the aforementioned reason.
