Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
1) The man page should describe the code, not the other way around.
2) Internal variables should not be documented or exposed, except in
controlled circumstances (i.e. - That's what the -C flag is for).
The variable should have been saved to the config file in save_config().
3) The next available userid doesn't get automatically updated. The
end-result is the same (user gets added with the correct uid),
but in an interactive session the default uid doesn't get updated in
the display.
So,
o Use the uidstart variable instead of uuid (bug #3)
o Actually save the variable to adduser.conf (bug #2)
o (bug #1 to be fixed in an upcomming commit to adduser.conf.5)

Previously, it would recognize it as a valid shell only
if the basename (nologin) was specified. Now, it will
recognize both the basename and the full path.
NOTE: The full path as adduser(8) understands it is /usr/sbin/nologin.
There is a symlink, /sbin/nologin, but that's deprecated and
only there for backwards compatibility.
o Add a -D option to not attempt to create the home directory.
o Treat the /nonexistent home directory specially. It means the user has
no home directory and it should not be created.
o Update Copyright year and my email.

All characters will be accepted, and pw(8) can sort out which ones it
will allow and which ones it won't.

If any of the given groups do not exist complain and let the user try again.
This saves the user from discovering at the end of the process that they've
forgotten to add a group or they've typoed.
