Nate Williams 5e91a8ac91 - On second thought, attempt to get the read-only lock, but don't consider it a exit failure if it doesn't work. This means that root processes can safely get the lock, but normal processes can still use the 'pw' utility to get information (which may change out from under them.)		1998-08-04 22:31:26 +00:00

README

pw is a command-line driven passwd/group editor utility that provides
an easy and safe means of modifying of any/all fields in the system
password files, and has an add, modify and delete mode for user and
group records. Command line options have been fashioned to be similar
to those used by the Sun/shadow commands: useradd, usermod, userdel,
groupadd, groupmod, groupdel, but combines all operations within the
single command `pw'.

User add mode also provides a means of easily setting system useradd
defaults (see pw.conf.5), so that adding a user is as easy as issuing
the command "pw useradd <loginid>". Creation of a unique primary
group for each user and automatic memberhip in secondary groups
is fully supported.

This program may be FreBSD specific, but should be trivial to port to
other bsd4.4 variants.
