Yo, everybody! :-) I don't really care _what_ language it's written in just so long as: 1. It supports a reasonable number of options and home directory organization schemes. For a synopsis of my views on this, search the mailing list archives for "adduser" - I actually spec'd this out awhile back in a mail message to this list. 2. Be designed to be callable by front-ends written in anything from Tk to C. By "callable" I simply mean that adduser(1) should be drivable completely by command-line arguments, only prompting the user for information when it has not been provided thusly. 3. That language be a standard part of the system so we don't need to bring in something like prolog just to get adduser to compile. :-) Jordan
