See URL:

The man page is there too..

This works fine on NetBSD, SunOS, Solaris (ok Solaris really suck
badly but it does work), HP-UX and probably others.

It will use vipw so file locking etc is not an issue, and will
populate the user's home dir with default files if a suitable
prototype directory is available.

You can have it prompt you for user-id full name, or give it
everything on the command line.

I use it during automated system installation to ensure certain
accounts exist on all systems.

Enjoy!
