            Bug ID: 289399
           Summary: rmuser(8) does not follow adduser(8) prompt
                    conventions
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.0-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: editor@callfortesting.org

adduser(8) provides a number of input and confirmation prompts such as [yes]
and [no]:

Login class [default]:
Shell (sh csh tcsh git-shell nologin) [sh]:
Home directory [/home/foo]:
Home directory permissions (Leave empty for default):
Enable ZFS encryption? (yes/no) [no]:
Use password-based authentication? [yes]:

Its companion rmuser(8) does not give such prompts:

Is this the entry you wish to remove?

(Is valid input y? Y? yes? Yes? Something else?

As companion utilities, these should probably work more similarly.
