The System Preferences>Accounts preference panel allows you to create 
accounts if you're the admin user.  AFAIK, user{add,mod,del} aren't on 
MacOS X like they are on Solaris.  The command-line tools from prior 
releases were removed (niutil, etc.)

For databases, use the tools provided with that database to add accounts 
to it.
