From 4a198ee0cbf4e9939c2a6e9a0de4afd27158e394 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: joerg Date: Mon, 9 Dec 1996 14:05:35 +0000 Subject: pw(8) -- a backend utility to manage the user and group databases. sysinstall's new User&group menu will use it, hence it's a 2.2 candidate despite of providing new functionality.

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 ". 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.
