"need" does not get along too well with "free".

No.  Freeside creates a `users' file.

Freeside does not add users to an existing users file.
The bin/svc_acct.export script creates a users file from the svc_acct 
table, containing all entries with a non-empty slipip field.

If you want help, you need to ask specific questions about what you do
not understand, not ask for vague "clarification".
