then a uid and gid will be picked which are both unique
and the same, and a line will be added to

It has the format:
.br

.Ic group
.Ar gid | name | Li =uid
.Ed

sets the default time at which new accounts expire.
A value of 0 can be used to disable this feature.
Also see the

field.

.It Ic range
specifies the uid boundaries for new users.
If unspecified, the default is
.Dq 1000..60000 .
It has the format:
.Bd -unfilled -offset indent -compact
