The FreeBSD user utilities, vipw (editing the password file), adduser (adding a user), and rmuser (remove a user) have been removed and are not available from the command line. These utilities update the /etc/pwd.db and the /etc/spwd.db password database password files. These files, in the NetMAX system, are linked to /var/conf/etc/pwd.db and /var/conf/etc/spwd.db files, which are updated when a user is added through the NetMAX interface. Using these utilities from the command line would break these links, and adding a user through the NetMAX interface would not work correctly.
