I just loaded NetBSD/Mac68k on my machine at home just for fun mostly, but It doesn't have an adduser function! I read the faq and it says that you have to do it manually. Is this crazy? There has to be an easier way! What do you folks think? Any good solutions? Switch to OpenBSD and you get an adduser script.
