If it's a user representing a human being, then IPS really won't work well

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.
