Uggg, 10.2's integration with Unix was just appalling.  Half the standard
Unix administrative commands were either missing or worse weren't integrated
with the NetInfo way of doing things so they would silently alter the
standard Unixy files but have no effect.  And don't get me started about
tcsh being the default. *shudder*

At least OSXGNU fixed the most glaring oversights like groupadd and useradd.
