This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been

also allow creation of new local group when NIS groups are used.
this can probably be done more elegantly, and needs more thought.
o less restrictive, you can choise uid, gid ...
o invite user into some groups
o encrypted passwords with crypt
o batch mode (for instance, this works now:
$ adduser -batch jkh guest,uuadmin "Jordan K. Hubbard" passwd
see manpage for more details)
