I confirm this request emphatically! I'm moving away from Mandriva to Kunbuntu and this is something I will have to figure out now, since we have a centralised authentication system and the only local user is used only during the installation. I'm aware this is not the philosophy of the ubuntu authentication system, but I don't see why it would be so difficult to add a configuration option to change this and other things to make it perfectly suitable for an office environment with a centralised authentication system like NIS or LDAP.
