If we do, it should be renamed to adduser, and use the files in
/usr/share/skel.

After using Solaris as well as some BSDish systems, I've also grown used
to the usermod, userdel and group* (for groups) commands as well.  It's
much easier to document in a procedures manual "useradd blah, blah" than
"vipw", "mkdir xxx", copy some files, ...

I'd be happy to look at what's available (Simon Gerraty's stuff also
comes to mind), and get something ready that may be included with the
base distribution (if the powers that be will allow it) if that's what
it takes to get the job done.

to that :).
