In NetBSD, adduser(8) is not a command, but more of an example process.  
Some might argue that this is a bug.  However, given that account 
creation practices and policies can differ substantially from site to 
site, a standard, catchall adduser(8) command could be a hard problem.

When I worked at Oregon State University, even systems that supplied such 
a command never got to see it used (Sequent's ptx/Admin, HP-UX's SAM, etc.)
