Is there a way to have one csm management server distribute different passwd/group files to different node groups? For example I have a nodegroup called dev and prod. I don't want the dev users access on the prod servers. I create two passwd files...

/cfmroot/etc/passwd._dev
/cfmroot/etc/passwd._prod

I'm thinking of creating the user on the management server to maintain a list of unique UID's, then dsh the useradd command to each member of the cluster. Then of course rcp the files back to /cfmroot.

Seems to be more complicated than it should be... is there a build in utility/command that does this? From what i've seen in the documentation csm is designed to be the central place to create/maintain users and I haven't found anything yet that describes what I want to do.

thanks.
