Yup, that is one of the drawbacks of my previous idea. That is why I
suggest using some other tool to manage user accounts, and have that
tool export the data to LDAP or passwd files.
Currently I have a billing system (a bunch of CLI scripts w/ a MySQL
backend) to manage my accounts. The scripts add accounts to both
locations, and suspension just removes the passwd entry.
Anyone else have some more elegant ideas for user management?
