Passwd file sysncs / adding/removing users. |

I would like to be able to add/delete users from passwd files with
cfengine but have only found a way (a very nice way indeed) to replace
existing users passwords. This comes in REAL handy for changing the root
password on all of your servers, but I would like to expand it to be able
to handle accounts that may come and go.
I could write a script to do this, but it doesn't seem to be the
"cfengine way."
Any ideas on adding/deleting users in the passwd file with cfengine?
Thanks!
Jason

# Sync passwd file.
{ /etc/passwd.test
SplitOn ":"
ForEachLineIn "$(master_inputs)/passwd.master"
ReplaceLinesMatchingField "1"
# Would like something like:
# AppendIfNoSuchLineMatchingField "1"
EndLoop
}
