If this BSDisc is a full 1.0 distribution there should be an INSTALL
file on there somewhere.

There is no adduser command, only the manpage describing the process.
Maybe this question belongs in the FAQ?

I strongly suggest that you RUN to the book store and pick up "Unix
System Administration" by Nemeth, Snyder, and Seebass (sp?).  It tells
you almost all you need to know.  The second edition came out
recently.
