I would rather suggest making this a port/package, something like a `defaultuser' package.

Having said this, it now requires a volunteer... -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
