Hi All,

Is there a way to add include a new user's password
when creating his account with `useradd`.  There is a "-p"
option, but it requires and "encrypted password".  And
I have no idea what that would be.  I only know his actual
password.  And including his actual password gets you
some unknown password that I have to redo with `passwd`

Many thanks,
-T
