Well, you could contribute the "useradd" and "groupadd" scripts that
invoke "net user" and "net group" respectively, and then run "mkpasswd -u
username >> /etc/passwd" and "mkgroup -g groupname >> /etc/group"... I'm
sure this kind of functionality would be well received.
However, adding the user via the regular Windows means would still require
explicit synchronization.
