        Use ed or adduser (I recommend adduser).
        WARNING: filesystem still has bugs. Don't use ed with a file if
you'll save the file with less information (for example, you just deleted
a line from /etc/passwd). The resulting file will be equal the original 
(or truncated). See the UZIX page.
