 excellent.

 btw fyi:
 
	lkcl@debian:~$ apt-cache show adduser-ng

	Description: Add and remove users and groups
	 This package is meant to be a replacement for the adduser script.
	 It's written in perl with flexibility and modularity kept in mind.
	 .
	 The major advantages are:
	 .
	  * built-in plugins for user and groups administration,
	  * different set of User Interfaces,
	  * very flexible configuration,
	  * good documentation on how to write your own plugins.
	 .
