+What is usertools ?
+
+It is our sincere hope that you find these tools as useful and sanity-saving as we have. It has long bothered us that no consistent set of simple user administration tools exists across the many different Unix-based and Unix-like operating systems. Even the simple task of determining whether or not a user has a valid account requires grepping the passwd file and eyeballing the text to see if it looks correct.
+
+These tools were designed with the average ISP technician in mind. This
+someone needs to add, maybe, twenty to one hundred users in one day, verify some passwords, change some passwords, remove some users, and temporarily disconnect accounts for non-payment. Many such technicians have the knowledge to hack apart the passwd and shadow files to accomplish this, and many do not.
+Regardless of ability, hacking apart critical system databases is a
+time-consuming and potentially dangerous task--especially on an active system.
