Yes, that's what I meant, if it were available I would use it. But I don't think useradd knows how to deal with it because AFAIK it only creates local users. The same about /etc/passwd could be said about /etc/sysconfig/network. You might want to control it partially only, not the whole content of the file. In this last case, it is easier to solve the problem if you are dealing with templates. Then , you can just set a variable and the whole thing is done. But with /etc/passwd it is not possible.
