gdr-ftp 330e74b7e9 Makefile, mklink.data, mkso.data, newuser.desc, newuser.rez:
- initial checkin
README:
	- updated installation notes
installit, newuserv.c:
	- deleted (obsolete)
newuser.1:
	- renamed to newuser.8
newuser.c, newuser.8:
	- account home directories are now made in /home rather than /user
	- made all the routines internal to this file to be class 'static'
	- fit sources into GNO base distribution builds
	- added checks for parsing NEWID_FILE
	- added various conchecks to prevent buffer overflow and similar
	  problems
	- ensure the password is at least MIN_PASSWD_LEN characters long
	- don't set the terminal type; that is the responsibility of
	  initd/getty.
	- instead of creating explicit files in the user's home directory,
	  copy every file that is in the SKELETONS directory.
	- account creation is now logged via syslogd
	- added -g flag for selecting non-default group ids
	- check to ensure that the new uid returned by get_next_uid is
	  not already in use; if it is, then log a warning via syslog,
	  skip it, and get another uid
