my name is `adduser`
and my brother's `useradd`
one of us is good
and one of us is bad!

which of us is which?
there is no way to know
we change names sometimes
to keep you on your toes!

Huh, did the names ever switch? I remember adduser always being the interactive one (that has a better understanding of GECOS' format), and useradd being the one amenable to scripting.
