/usr/sbin/adduser:

(2.2-STABLE for today)

# adduser
Use option ``-verbose'' if you want see more warnings & questions
or try to repair bugs.

Enter username [a-z0-9_-]: tja
Enter full name []: User &
Enter shell bash csh date no sh [bash]:
Uid [1026]:
Login group tja [tja]:
Login group is ``tja''. Invite tja into other groups: guest no
[no]:
Enter password []:
Enter password again []:

Name:     tja
Password: ****
Fullname: User &
Uid:      1026
Gid:      1026 (tja)
Groups:   tja
HOME:     /home/tja
Shell:    /usr/local/bin/bash
OK? (y/n) [y]:
Added user ``tja''
Add another user? (y/n) [y]: n

(
tja:$1$YwIJRFsE$2jkZDVD0kug0PPgGjCyYt/:1026:1026::0:0:User &:/home/tja:/usr/local/bin/bash
)

eh? (user tja is now rmusered :)
