Summary: postfix user does not exist on cluster nodes

Initial Comment:
When trying to startup postfix on cluster nodes:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# /etc/init.d/postfix start
Starting postfix: postalias: fatal: 
file /etc/postfix/main.cf: parameter mail_owner: 
unknown user name value: postfix

I think the cause of this is the cluster node's passwd file 
gets overwritten by the one from the headnode, so if 
the postfix user doesn't exist on the headnode, the user 
will be removed from the cluster node's passwd.

I spoke with DongInn about this on IM.  The thought was to
possibly use a C3 cmd (pipe friendly version 'cexec --pipe')
to query for the user on the compute nodes, e.g., "cexec
--pipe getent passwd postfix".  

Then cut the C3 prefix / actual getent results and pass it
thru uniq.  This *should* yeild one password line that could
be added to headnode.  Obvious error cases would have to be
checked (e.g., not output, multiple output after uniq, etc.)

That's my $0.02, on this one.
