Description:
Adduser and rmuser are programs that add and remove user accounts on
participating machines across a network. The can be used in interac-
tive, screen-oriented mode or in batch mode. For unreachable machines
and certain types of accounts, the actual work will be deferred until a
later time. Runuserq is a program that runs any deferred work (i.e.
queued jobs).
Adding and removing accounts on another machine is accomplished by a
program on the target machine responsible for machine dependent error
checking and account manipulation. All three programs send information
to the remote program, and interpret error codes that it returns.
