PATCH Update 'Users and Basic Account Management'


From: Victor Balada Diaz <victor@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sun, 3 Sep 2006 18:55:49 +0200

Hi,
this is the detailed update log:

	- Update the screen examples, they had various bugs like
          references to /usr/local programs or documenting a non
	  existent behaviour.

	- Update references to -s and -v options of adduser, this
	  options doesn't exists, so i changed -s to -C and deleted
	  -v.

-- 
La prueba más fehaciente de que existe vida inteligente en otros
planetas, es que no han intentado contactar con nosotros.
