Which version of Debian?  Which DE or WM?

Squeeze, installed from the netinstall CD with the default desktop
collection, in a gnome session.

I should have got the name of the utility while I had squeeze booted.
I'd be posting this from a squeeze account if I could make a non-admin
account to do it with.

Speaking of which, are the command line user/group management tools
(adduser, etc.) going to leave something undone if I use them instead?
Or, if I use vipw and hand-copy the bash skeleton, for a user, am I
going to regret it later?
