Here's a list of what kind of behavior I've encountered with UserManager
on the NeXT's.  Does anyone know of cures for these ills?

BUGS:
1.  When filling out the long view for a new user, the default group is
    is not what group UserManager will use to create the account. You have
    to go through the menu of groups and select it to get the right one.

2.  If you modify the group of a user, it only updates the netinfo
    information.  The home directory and all the files and directories
    under it are still owned by the old group.  (long view again)


FEATURES:
1.  On entering a new user, you can enter an invalid UID, i.e., a UID
    that is out of range, and UserManager won't complain.

2.  You can't easily find a user!  The list is alphabetized but when you
    have more than 200 users you'd like to type in the name and jump
    to his/her information...


Are these valid gripes or am I missing something?
