+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm useradd
+utility adds a user to the system, creating and
+populating a home directory if necessary.
+Any skeleton dot files will be provided
+for the new user if they exist in the /etc/skel directory.
+Default values for the base directory, the time of password expiry,
+the skeleton directory,
+seconds until password change, primary group, the range from which the uid will be
+allocated,
+and default login shell can be provided in the /etc/usermgmt.conf
+file.
+.Pp
+The first format of the command shown above (utilising the -D option)
+sets and displays the defaults for the
+.Nm
+utility.
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl D
+without any further options, -D will show the current defaults which
+will be used by the
+.Nm
+utility. Together with one of the options shown for the first version
+of the command, -D will set the default to be the new value.
+.It Fl b Ar base-dir
+sets the base directory. This is the directory to which the user name
+is added, which will be created if the -m option is specified and no
+-d option is specified.
+.It Fl e Ar expiry-time
+sets the time at which the current password will expire for this user.
+.It Fl f Ar inactive-secs
+sets the number of seconds after which, if no login has occurred for
+the user during that time, the login will be "locked".
+.It Fl g Ar gid/groupname/=uid
+sets the default group for any user added using the
+.Nm
+command.
+.It Fl r Ar low..high
+sets the low and high bounds of uid ranges for new users. A new user
+can only be created if there are uids which can be assigned from one
+of the free ranges.
+.El
+.Pp
+In the second form of the command,
+after setting any defaults, and then values from that file,
+the command line options are processed:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl G Ar secondary-group
+is the secondary group to which the user will be added in
+the /etc/group file.
+.It Fl b Ar base-directory
+is the base directory name, in which the user's new home
+directory will be created, should the -m option be specified.
+This value can be preset for all users
+by using the
+.Ar base_dir
+field in the
+.Xr /etc/usermgmt.conf
+file - it has the format:
+.Ar base_dir <path-to-base-dir> .
+.It Fl c Ar comment
+is the comment field (also, for historical reasons known as the
+GECOS field) which will be added for the user, and typically will include
+the username, and, perhaps, contact information for the user.
+.It Fl d Ar home-directory
+is the home directory which will be created and populated for the user,
+should the -m option be specified.
+.It Fl e Ar secs-to-expiry
+provides the number of seconds since the epoch (UTC) at
+which the current password change expire. This
+can be used to implement password aging.
+A value of
+0 can be used to switch off this feature.
+The default value for this field is 0.
+See
+.Xr passwd 5
+for more details.
+This value can be preset for all users
+by using the
+.Ar expire
+field in the
+.Xr /etc/usermgmt.conf
+file - it has the format:
+.Ar expire <secs-to-expiry> .
+.It Fl g Ar gid/name/=uid
+gives the group name or identifier to be used for the new user's primary group.
+If this is
+.Ar "-g=uid" ,
+then a uid and gid will be picked which are both unique
+and the same, and a line added to
+.Ar /etc/group
+to describe the new group.
+This value can be preset for all users
+by using the
+.Ar gid
+field in the
+.Xr /etc/usermgmt.conf
+file - it has the format:
+.Ar group <groupname/groupid/=uid> .
+.It Fl k Ar skeleton directory
+gives the skeleton directory in which to find dot files
+with which to populate the new user's home directory.
+.It Fl m
+create a new home directory for the new user.
+.It Fl o
+allow the new user to have a uid which is already in use for another user.
+.It Fl p Ar password
+specifies an already-encrypted password for the new user.
+This password can then be changed by using the
+.Xr chpass 1
+utility.
+This value can be preset for all users
+by using the
+.Ar password
+field in the
+.Xr /etc/usermgmt.conf
+file - it has the format:
+.Ar password <encrypted-password> .
+.It Fl s Ar shell
+specifies the login shell for the new user.
+This value can be preset for all users
+by using the
+.Ar shell
+field in the
+.Xr /etc/usermgmt.conf
+file - it has the format:
+.Ar shell <login-shell> .
+.It Fl u Ar uid
+specifies a uid for the new user.
+Boundaries for this value can be preset for all users
+by using the
+.Ar range
+field in the
+.Xr /etc/usermgmt.conf
+file - they have the format:
+.Ar range <starting-uid>..<ending-uid> .
+.It Fl v
+enables verbose mode - explain the commands as they are executed.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+utility first appeared in
+.Nx 1.5 .
+It is based on the
+.Ar addnerd
+package by the same author.
+.Sh AUTHOR

+.Nm
