I would like to eventually submit these to the FreeBSD distribution, with an additional 'muser' program which is not currently included in the distribution--but which uses these libraries for a do-it-all add/modify/remove system for users and groups (I broke it, which is why its not currently included). The only problem is libpwd and company is written in perl5--not perl4. Comments and suggestions for fixes/improvements are more than welcome. -Brandon Gillespie
