Yes, obviously. I once was called to a machine that went completely wild. It
would not really boot anymore. There was no 'root' in /etc/passwd :-(. I could
not see how that happened, but they had a 'delete user script' activated.

Not sure. Optionitis striking again. But I think that the dynamic user adding
upon session setup is a bad hack anyway.

For compatibility: 2 new options: 'samr add user script' and 'dynamic add user
script', and mark 'add user script' as deprecated? These are really two
functions and should be treated as such in the future.
