[ale] about through with passwords and new uesrs

[artic_knight at yahoo.com (Stephen Turner)]

ok perhaps i dont understand this right, to create a user you have to
specify a password, and to be able to specify that password you first have
to feed it into crypt? then take an encoded password from there and insert
it manually into your new user account?? are you serious? theres no easy
adduser normalpass username -flaggs way? i must have a broken package.
theres no way thats the usual way to do it and useradd wouldnt have it
automated in thier system!
