Sweet.

Also, now that we are running libnss-ptdb, there is no longer any need
to create entries in /etc/passwd.  I've removed the "megacz" user from
deleuze:/etc/passwd, and everything still works fine (note: we should
use some other mechanism such as pam to restrict logins on deleuze).

In fact, I recommend we adopt a policy of never adding an entry to
/etc/passwd on any of hcoop's machines if a corresponding AFS identity
exists -- this runs the risk of them falling out of sync.

The only exception right now is the *_admin instances, because their
UNIX and AFS names don't match ("_" vs ".") so ptdb thinks there is no
megacz_admin and falls back to files+ldap.  I could add this to
libnss-ptdb, but we should probably still leave the _admin entries in
/etc/passwd so we can log in if all redundant copies of the AFS
ptservers all die simultaneously (highly unlikely once we set up a
secondary ptserver).
