Hi,
sorry about not responding on time... believe it or not, sometimes
I have to go through hundreds of e-mails a day. I used to contribute
for the Linux community years ago, but now I don't have as much
free time as I'd like to - the 'useradd' is something I had to do
for my own purposes (I had to fix a "free e-mail" type service which
right now has over 35,000 users, and was up to a point where tens
of new accounts were waiting in a queue - each for over 15 minutes).

I intend to add usermod and userdel to the package, and fix the
Makefile, etc. - whenever I get some free time to do it :)
You can ignore the list_pwdb - it doesn't get installed for a
reason, it's just for debugging.

My 'useradd' is not really a port - it's written from scratch. The
'pw' command would have been nice (it has similar syntax) if it
didn't deal with the DB databases the same way 'adduser' does
(rebuilding everything every time).

Regards,
Venzi
