Example 8-1. Configuring adduser

    # adduser -v
    Use option ``-silent'' if you don't want to see all warnings and questions.
    Check /etc/shells
    Check /etc/master.passwd
    Check /etc/group
    Enter your default shell: csh date no sh tcsh [sh]: zsh
                                                 ^ zsh

    Your default shell is: tcsh -> /usr/local/bin/zsh
                            zsh

...

    Name:     jru
    Password: ****
    Fullname: J. Random User
    Uid:      1007
                 1

    Gid:      1007 (jru)
                 1

Example 8-2. rmuser interactive account removal

    # rmuser jru
    Matching password entry:
    jru:*:1000:1000::0:0:J. Random User:/home/jru:/usr/local/bin/tcsh

8.6.3 pw
  pw is a command line utility to create, remove, modify, and display users
  and groups, and functions as an editor of the system user and group files.
  This section describes its use for users; the Groups section below describes
  its use for groups.

  To do? (It's covered in "Example 8-7. Adding a group using pw(8)"
          and "Example 8-8. Adding somebody to a group using pw(8)" though)

8.7 Limiting Users
  If you run a multi-user system, chances are that you do not trust all of
  your users not to damage your system. FreeBSD provides a number of ways a
  system administrator can limit the amount of system resources an individual
  user can use. These limits are generally divided into two sections:
  disk quotas, and other resources limits.

8.9 Groups: para. 2
  The group name to group ID map is in /etc/group. This is a plain text file
  with four colon-delimited fields. The first fields is the group name,
                                                   x
