Duh! Thanks a lot! After Googling for a few hours I think I just could 
not think/see straight...

So now, when our installers  install our apps as root, and we ask the 
user which user he wants those apps (services) to run as, what is the 
best practice to set this up for the user?
Can I just do what I did and edit the /etc/user_attr directly? (assuming 
I parse the file correctly and check if there is already an entry for 
the userid or not, etc..)

Thanks
Estelle
