>I understand that FreeBSD does not come with an adduser program.  I read in the BSD386 FAQ that there is a program called AddIt that is an attempt at providing an adduser program.  It was said to be in /usr/src/contrib but it did not say on what system.  I have the source installed on my FreeBSD system and AddIt is not in the contrib directory.  Can anyone tell me where to get it or any other good adduser program or script.

Have a look at the FreeBSD FAQ (this is a different document to the
386BSD FAQ) -- the FreeBSD FAQ is available by anonymous ftp from
freebsd.cdrom.com.

AddIt is also on FreeBSD.cdrom.com:
ftp://freebsd.cdrom.com.pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/contrib/adduser/

The FreeBSD FAQ is also available via WWW:
