+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility acts as a frontend to the
+.Xr useradd 8 ,
+.Xr usermod 8 ,
+.Xr userinfo 8 ,
+and
+.Xr userdel 8
+commands.
+.Pp
+For a full explanation of the options, see the relevant manual page.

+.Xr useradd 8 ,
+.Xr userdel 8 ,
+.Xr userinfo 8 ,
+.Xr usermod 8
+.Sh STANDARDS
+Other implementations of the
+.Nm user
+utilities use the
+.Ar inactive-time
+parameter to refer to the maximum number of days allowed between logins (this
+is used to lock "stale" accounts that have not been used for a period of time).
+However, on
+.Ox
+systems this parameter refers instead to the password change time.
+This is due to differences in the
+.Xr passwd 5
+database compared to other operating systems.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+utility first appeared in
+.Ox 2.7 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+The
+.Nm
+utility was written by
