We need to manage /etc/passwd where there would be one line at the very end
of the file to restrict access to all users not explictly allowed:

+::::::/sbin/nologin

If using delete_lines and append_if_no_such_lines (similar to this one at
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/528) to manage access control,
each time a few new users got appended to /etc/passwd file, the above line
would be deleted and appended, for many times, while it only needs to be
done once.

Any better way to manage this file in terms of access control? Augeas is
buggy and I filed a bug report on this already.
