Package: adduser Description-md5: 7965b5cd83972a254552a570bcd32c93 Description-en_CA: add and remove users and groups This package includes the 'adduser' and 'deluser' commands for creating and removing users. . - 'adduser' creates new users and groups and adds existing users to existing groups; - 'deluser' removes users and groups and removes users from a given group. . Adding users with 'adduser' is much easier than adding them manually. Adduser will choose appropriate UID and GID values, create a home directory, copy skeletal user configuration, and automate setting initial values for the user's password, real name and so on. . Deluser can back up and remove users' home directories and mail spool or all the files they own on the system. . A custom script can be executed after each of the commands. .

AMaViSd-new supports all MTAs through its generic SMTP/LMTP filter mode (ideal for postfix and exim). It is faster and safer to use the SMTP/LMTP filter mode than using the AMaViS pipe client. It supports sendmail milter through the amavisd-new-milter package. Package: anacron Description-md5: cd9f07726e1ee3bc93fcfdb799520070 Description-en_CA: cron-like program that doesn't go by time Anacron (like "anac(h)ronistic") is a periodic command scheduler. It executes commands at intervals specified in days. Unlike cron, it does not assume that the system is running continuously.
