+The usermgmt suite of programs provides SVR4/Solaris-compatible
+{user,group}{add,del,mod} commands, and two utilities, user(8) and
+group(8) whcih perform the same functions. In addition, some
+extensions are provided, which allow a user to be created with the
+same uid and gid, for example.
+
+The usermgmt suite was based on the old addnerd package, which, in turn,
+was based on Matt Green's addbozo script.
