Let me clarify -- if your system has been set up to store *all* users in
LDAP, and your useradd tool does the right thing by the name service switch,
then the new user will be created in LDAP and not in /etc/passwd, right?

So the LDAP part was a bit of a red herring -- I guess I was trying to show
two examples at once.

So, ignore LDAP, and assume that an "account" section will just add a user
to the local system -- the advantage being that the hard work will be done
by cfengine instead of the poor admin who has to deal with the
control/editfiles/shellcommands combo.
