Hi there,
I was horrified to see that /usr/sbin/adduser does no locking of the password
file! I recommend that instead of attempting to add the entry directly that
the program simply invoke chpass -a <list> which will see to it that locking
is done etc. Much safer.
Also, I've made a userdel script in perl. It was written on company time and
so my company has the copyright. The company is however happy to allow this
to be freely released. Should I put this on a news group or would someone
like to have a look and perhaps put it into future FreeBSD releases?
