It is designed to be useful both as a directly executed command and for use from shell scripts. pw is a powerful and flexible means to modify accounts, but adduser is recommended for creating new accounts, and rmuser for deleting accounts. chpass allows both the system administrator and normal users to adjust passwords, shells, and personal information. passwd is the more common means to change passwords specifically, however. rmuser rmuser removes users from the system, including any traces beyond the user database. rmuser performs the following steps: 1.Removes the user's crontab(1) entry (if any). 2.Removes any at(1) jobs belonging to the user. 3.Kills all processes owned by the user 4.Removes the user from the system's local password file. 5.Removes the user's home directory (if it is owned by the user) 6.Removes the incoming mail files belonging to the user from /var/mail. 7.Removes all files owned by the user from temporary file storage areas such as /tmp. 8.Finally, removes the username from all groups to which it belongs in /etc/group. Note: If a group becomes empty and the group name is the same as the username, the group is removed; this complements the per-user unique groups created by adduser(8).
