- adduser: add and remove users and groups
This package includes the 'adduser' and 'deluser' commands for creating
and removing users.
.
- 'adduser' creates new users and groups and adds existing users to
existing groups;
- 'deluser' removes users and groups and removes users from a given
group.
.
Adding users with 'adduser' is much easier than adding them manually.
'Adduser' will choose UID and GID values that conform to Debian policy,
create a home directory, copy skeletal user configuration, and
automate setting initial values for the user's password, real name
and so on.
.
'Deluser' can back up and remove users' home directories
and mail spool or all the files they own on the system.
.
A custom script can be executed after each of the commands.
.
'Adduser' and 'Deluser' are intended to be used by the local
administrator in lieu of the tools from the 'useradd' suite, and
they provide support for easy use from Debian package maintainer
scripts, functioning as kind of a policy layer to make those scripts
easier and more stable to write and maintain.
