A while back I bemoaned the fact that there was no standard, easy way to add, delete or configure users on *nix platforms.
Rather than shelling out to the system, I'm thinking of forcing an LDAP approach. This is, after all, what you can do with Windows with Win32 OLE and ADSI. There are a few issues, however. First, it adds a requirement to the sys-admin package. Second, there are two ldap packages for Ruby, so I'm not sure which I should use. Lastly, I don't know LDAP.
