hi there, this question was always kind of in the back of my mind: why are there 2 sets of commands for adding and removing users?
looking at the man pages their functionalities quite overlap and i am not really sure which one is the preferred, if any. the ports framework uses useradd/userdel if i am not mistaken, adduser and rmuser are way more chatty and not really in the unix philosophy (the way i see it: an "untouchable" configuration file that is read/written by the program, console input in the forms of questions, etc). apart from the historical circumstances (useradd and userdel first appeared in 2.7) why are they both there? one should take over everything and the other one should be booted, no? -f -- i'm not nearly as think a you confused i am.
