I'm pretty sure when I first started using OpenBSD (3.4), I added my first user via adduser. Since then, when the need arises I just fire up adduser and it does what it says on the tin. Apart from being caught out by that damned "send message to user" and answering "yes" a dozen times, I've never had a problem. There are mixed emotions about adduser, and when you look at the code you understand why. I think I will try and clean it up a bit though. If there are no objections. And thanks for the ok. -mark
