Thanks Otto, trusted as always !

Still I think man adduser isn't very clear; the examples are also somewhat
confusing; as well as the seemingly non-functional '-group'.

[-batch username [group[,group] ...] indicates an optional group, which it
isn't. Also the third example seems to imply that one can do without. I
did try it, with -group falken, and also it didn't work.

With both Darren and me trying our best, some improvement is possible
here. I leave it to the native speakers, though, to offer a diff.

Thanks again,

Uwe
