'''pw''' is the system command used to modify and rebuild /etc/passwd, /etc/master.passwd, and the system user account database generated from those files.

'''ph34r#''' pw useradd newuser -d /home/newuser -g wheel

This creates ''newuser'', sets their home directory to ''/home/newuser'', and their group to [[wheel]].

'''ph34r#''' pw usermod newuser -G sambausers -s /bin/csh

This modifies ''newuser'' by adding ''sambausers'' as a secondary group on the account, and setting the default shell to the [[C Shell]].

'''ph34r#''' pw usershow newuser

This will show all information about the user ''newuser''.

'''ph34r#''' pw usermod newuser -s /sbin/nologin

This effectively disables the ''newuser'' account for interactive login purposes, because any attempt to log in will result in a "This account has been disabled" message followed by immediate closure of the session.

'''ph34r#''' pw userdel newuser

This deletes the ''newuser'' account entirely.
