Introduction
------------

UserMaint is a program designed for the busy system administrator who
doesn't want to be fussed with manually editing files to get what he wants
done. The scenario may be different, and I've found novice system
administrators like it because of it's interactivity and ease of use. But
whatever your reasons, I hope you enjoy the program. 

You can get an updated version of UserMaint from the Official UserMaint
Web Page <http://linloft.home.ml.org/usermaint>. 

The Descriptions
----------------

There are a number of files included in this distribution. Here they are
below, with the descriptions attached.

readme.txt = this file, The UserMaint Users Guide
u.groupadd = The Graphical Group Add
u.groupdel = The Graphical Group Deleter
u.useradd  = The Graphical User Add
u.userdel  = The Graphical User Deleter
COPYING    = The GPL Document

Installation
------------

Adjust the priority levels on the programs to whatever security level you
desire. As you may see, I lean towards a more open configuration. But
don't worry, the programs if run by a normal user can't do anything
anyhow. 

Then, it's simply a matter of...

cp u.* /usr/sbin

and your laughing! :-) .. Then, whenever you wish to add a user, use
u.useradd instead of adduser and you'll enjoy the graphical based tool!.
Same goes for userdel, groupadd, groupdel and the likes.

Contacting Me
-------------

I like getting feedback, and I'm not a grumpy guy who never replies. All
emails will be responded to (eventually), but flames go directly to
/dev/null without being read.
