ADDING:

Simply add a user with all defaults

	userman -A user

Add a user with password 'foobar'

	userman -A user -p foobar

Add a user with password 'foobar', home '/tmp', shell '/bin/false' and 
realname 'foo bar'

	userman -A user -p foobar -H /tmp -s /bin/false -R "foo bar"


DELETING:

delete a user

	userman -D user

delete a user and remove his home and his mail-spool

	userman -D user -r
	or
	userman -rD user


MODIFYING:

change a users password to 'foobar' (same as 'passwd user' would do)

	userman -M user -p foobar

change a users home to '/tmp' but leave the old home untouched

	userman -M user -H /tmp

change a users home to '/tmp' and move the old home to the new one

	userman -M user -H /tmp -r
	or
	userman -M user -rH /tmp

userman -M can also build a complete new user, using an old one ;-)
change a users name to 'dummy', move his home to '/home/dummy', set his password
to 'dummyuser' and change his realname to 'dummy user'

	userman -M user -U dummy -rH /home/dummy -p dummyuser -R "dummy user"

remove a user from the groups 'bin' and 'root' and put him into 'games'.
	
	userman -M user -E games -e bin,root


GROUPHANDLING:

add a group to the system

	userman -GA group

add a group with password 'foobar'

	userman -GA group -p foobar

delete a group

	userman -GD group

change the group-password to 'foobar'

	userman -GM group -p foobar

add user 'dummy' to a group

	userman -GM group -E dummy

delete users 'dummy' and 'dau' from a group

	userman -GM group -e dummy,dau

change a groups name to 'foobar', remove user 'dummy', add users 'dau' and 'foo'
and disable the group-password.

	userman -GM group -U foobar -e dummy -E dau,foo -J

CHECKING:

check the systemfiles for common errors

	userman -C

check the systemfiles for common errors and repair them

	userman -C -r
	OR
	userman -rC

USING THE BATCH-MODE:

galileo:~# cat > foo
user1   password1
user2   password2
user3   password3
galileo:~# userman -B foo
galileo:~# grep "^user" /etc/passwd
user1:x:500:100:user1:/home/user1:/bin/false
user2:x:501:100:user2:/home/user2:/bin/false
user3:x:502:100:user3:/home/user3:/bin/false
galileo:~#

same for groups but with -G given (e.g. 'userman -GB foo')

CHECKING WHO HAS TO CHANGE HIS/HER PASSWORD

janeway:~# userman -T
pennywise 6
janeway:~#

Output is username and days until password expires - seperated by a space.
