Our environment (mostly RHEL) uses LDAP for user and group
administration. Unfortunately, we have some cases where (broken)
software insists on  local users and groups. I'm guessing it's
checking the files directly instead of using the proper system calls.

Our current process is to create the local user/group matching the
LDAP entries. How are people handling this case? Puppet won't create
the user locally, as it sees the user as already existing. We are
currently using exec to call the local versions of the commands
(luseradd, lusermod, etc), but that's something of a hack and makes
for more complex classes. Does anyone have a graceful way to handle
this in puppet?

Thanks,
Rob
