Hi, so it looks like things which are duplicated include:
chfn chsh (but not chpasswd?) newgroup su vipw Do these all work the same way? (looks like util-linux su has a lot more options and implements the options shadow's does, good, but it does not honor all the same login.defs variables?) Are the manpages sufficient in util-linux (I think so)? What about the internationalization? (Seems to be there, at least) Would you consider implementing other things like usermod in util-linux? Ok, I see your (Andreas') tiered proposal. That sounds good to me, but then again there is the equivalence question. Once some of these are out of the debian package, I'll have to check to make sure no other distros need to switch (gentoo?). But happy to drop anything that gets supplanted.
