http://www.freebsd.org/~adrian/adduser.patch It adds an option which enables the password that is created. "enabling" means "don't put a * in front". Its aimed for accounts which will use non-password authentication (eg RSA/DSA). Its also aimed at sysadmins who want to create accounts but have them automatically disabled (think university admins who create shell accounts for users but want them to do training BEFORE enabling said account..) Now, the bikeshed: what should the option be? "Enable account at creation" isn't very descriptive and can be confusing.
