I cobbled together an adduser script a while ago that does everything
I need on my own system; it can be found at
ftp://rupert.oscs.montan.edu/pub/NetBSD/adduser/adduser-1.1.

I wouldn't recommend using version 1.0, since it could conceivable
leave your system without a /etc/passwd file in case of an inopportune
system crash.

This script isn't as functional or robust as it really should be; it
ought to do more password file locking, and it ought to accept more
command-line arguments.  If there's sufficient interest, I'll work on
it some more.  So far, though, I've only gotten one response on it.
