Equivalent of LISA in Debian?

I am used to using Caldera and using LISA to add users, etc. and change other settings remotely in a text environment.

Is there an equivalent program in Debian that I can run remotely in a text environment to add users other than the command addusers?

"The Linux Installation and System Administration program (LISA) can help you with all system administration, from installation to subsequent system and software package administration."

Sorry if the question is stupid - only been working with Debian a short time.

Thanks, but this is for a server that will be remotely managed and not running KDE.
The web page for lisa (and klisa) sounded like it was to be run under KDE.

I'm afraid the lisa you're after is strictly a caldera thing. You might look into webmin, or accessing the machine simply via ssh. Debian's admin section of their packages has literally hundred of different programs.

THANKS!!!
I am just using addusers and adding them the hard way. I may just write a quick shell script to add them.
