Ok.  So I need to setup my own repo, create one customized package in there,
and then install (and hope I get it right...).  And Michael says it's easier
and less tiresome than setting up a minimal system, configuring fedora-usermgmt,
and then install the rest...

I have a hard time believing a home user will find it so much easier.
And when you need to install many machines, making a golden and cloning it is 
easy enough too, there even are tools to do it (e.g., system imager).

Look, if you can convince FESCO to make fedora-useradd mandatory for FE 
packages I'll follow the rule, but I'd much rather you spend your energy 
getting the appropriate functionality upstream in shadow-utils...

Have a nice week-end.

Cheers,
					Christian
