Deletions are marked like this. Additions are marked like this.
Line 1: Line 1:
We have two standard Debian GNU scripts to perform user management.

== adduser ==
First, adduser, does the usual job, and executes /usr/local/sbin/adduser.local.
There we log new account creation to our special log file, and set up
group quotas. We can't set up quotas by defining the appropriate variable
in /etc/adduser.conf because that works for user quotas only, and not
group quotas. What a shame.

== deluser ==
The tool to delete users is deluser. What's wrong with deluser is that it
can remove user's files at deletion time, and it can also back them up
before that. You can specify backup directory, but it goes tar-gzipping
the files, which can take a long time. I need to hack the source to allow
files to just be moved to the backup directory. This way, if you keep
backup dir on the same partition as /home, moving user's files is
instant and doesn't grow linearly with user directory size.
