Judging from the notice on the one here, it's probably only available in
BSDI:

	# Copyright (c) 1994 Berkeley Software Design, Inc.

It seems to have a hodge-podge of little routines in it:

% grep -1 ^sub /usr/libdata/adm/util.pl|grep ^#
# Parse a generic record
# Read a file of generic records (in paragraph mode)
# Write out a generic record
# Put a generic record into a string
# Read a file as a single generic record
# Write a file from a single %fields array
# Print a header and list in columnar form
# Query the user
# Query for a hostname
# Query for an address
# getpass() Read a password from the tty
# Parse group file
# Write out new group file
# List existing groups
# Parse master.passwd file
# Write out new passwd file
# List existing users
# Explain queries/defaults
