+1

BUT, you need to find a way to cover cases where the user db is shared
between multiple systems.
Requiring the manifest to be equally shared could be one solution, but
cumbersome.
Another simpler and more effective way is to use the Gecos field (for
users, for groups I have no idea yet) to mark the account as a system
account as opposed to a normal user account. Can be done by adding a ",
SYSTEM" keyword at the end of the Gecos field.

Simo.
