Adding and removing a user automatically
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Could someone point me in the direction of some sample shell script code
that will let me check to see if a given username already exists with a
given group ID? I'm trying to finesse my IRAF installation script, and
just brute-force calling adduser on every install seems a little ugly.
I've examined the adduser code and suspect that I might be able to write a
similar custom routine manually in perl based upon it, but that's going to
add a dependency to the package, and is also going to be hard on my nerves
:)
Also, is there a simple way to automatically *remove* a user on a postrm?
