btw...webmin <http://www.webmin.com> is what I like to use for this type
of thing (user administration). You can set defaults (group, shell, home
directory location, auto-add to smbpasswd) and more.

There isn't any direct support for gentoo in webmin (I just checked the
very latest update - v 0.96) - someone is going to have to go through
and confirm the locations of all the 'conf' files, sysv stuff etc. in
the gentoo distro and then webmin would bring the centralized
administration control panel benefits to gentoo.
