Is yum a good place to look for and optionally add users and groups that are expected by packages. Or is this something that rpm should address. I commonly see a package install message that foo.package is installing files as "root" because user "fooadministrator" is missing. In some cases there is a risk of loss of security and containment of a hacker should a flaw be exploited in the package. In an ideal world I would like the opportunity to add the user/group (or not) then install the package.
