I know from experience that installing a new version of the package aaa_base in SLES will revert back some "customizations" you might have done (like editing scripts in /etc/init.d -- not that I recommend doing so)... Also, you might want to look at the SuSEconfig configuration. I don't think it will re-add users, but this script will change back permissions on some system files you might have changed in your hardening process.
