Indeep for /etc/passwd, but in fact, on RedHat system this is not a
problem since all system users have fixed uidNumber.
The main difference is all ditributions have an /etc/passwd so puppet
have a standard plugin for it, only Mageia (and others Mandriva base)
have an urpmi.cfg.
Yum for instance does not have this issue.

</I>
Puppet have a Yum plugin for instance.
I don't have augeas on all servers we have (I have to support Mdv MES 5 to
Mageia cauldron...).
And finally what you suggest is more or less what I did. Except I did it
for my own need, it has no options (yet).
