If it's a user representing a human being, then IPS really won't work well
for it, especially on removal. A number of people have tried it in the
past, and it just ends up being very messy. You're better off using one of
the configuration managers like puppet or chef.
I need to add a puppet demon user :)
(side issue: hey, how about making an "official" puppet IPS package?
Making a decent one is turning out to be surprisingly challenging, and
the rugby gem is broken for puppet 3.x)
If it's just a uid for a daemon to use, then the user action should be
sufficient. See the developer guide or the pkg(5) man page.
Could you reference a more focused example, please?
That manpage didnt seem to give a specific example, and googling
"IPS developer guide" pulls up a PDF, of a slideshow
PDF's are not very developer (or sysadmin) friendly at the best of times.
