I believe these can be implemented using simple manipulation of config file=
s.
Also useradd is part of the linux standard base, while adduser is not.

We could add the busybox example, but it might be better to come up
with something
universal.

There was some upstream discussion to get useradd and groupadd to
busybox upstream,
as this seems to be causing problems everywhere. They told that they
are unwilling to include them as is,
but would accept a wrapper thar forward to their adduser/addgroup
implementation.
