Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I am orphaning the adduser package on behalf Stephan Gran, who was the
last active/reachable member of the Adduser maintenance team.
The package description is:
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 appropriate UID and GID values, 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.
.
