I wrote a patch to fix this issue, but the patch submission dialog in JIRA has no place to actually put the patch itself, or at least none that I could see. I am attaching it to this message instead. It's a very simple patch to create the user when the rpm is installed and remove it when the rpm is uninstalled.

At the time the code was developed, the company that we worked for had centralized LDAP. Hence, it was neglected from RPM installation. Please file a jira, and we will fix it in the next minor release.
