is there no longer a utility such as

managing everything from users to services etc?

I know there's all the system-config-xxxxxx scripts, but those are all
GUI tools.
Some of them also have text user interface equivalents:

[07:06:34 sam ~$] locate -- -tui | grep bin /usr/bin/system-config-securitylevel-tui
/usr/sbin/authconfig-tui
/usr/sbin/neat-tui
/usr/sbin/system-config-network-tui

Also does anyone else think it odd that there's no in depth redhat
docs for command line administration of the server? I downloaded all
the docs, just to find out there mostly dumbed down simple
guides to using the GUI tools. WHAT!  Where's the good stuff?
I think the assumption is that if you are using the command line, then you are already experienced enough to know how to do it.

FWIW, I don't see why anyone would bother to write a TUI for adding users when "man useradd" and even just running "useradd" without options will get you enough information to add a user, probably much faster than any interface could do it.
