It just doesn't make sense to me to have such a great OS and not have a better way to do this junk. I use a tool called smitty on AIX and it's easy to list, modify, and generaly manage groups and users. Even on other more generic systems there IS at least a simple adduser function. I guess I'm just a little too picky.
