If you're going to orchestrate useradd for each local user, how is that
more difficult than sss_seed for each remote user?
Maybe I am missing something but sss_seed requires a password.
Only the user itself can provide a password for himself , even a temporary one otherwise
he can pretend it was not him who did evil things.
And sss_seed would be needed for all remote users.
I just need one local user (and I have already root) for which I must manage the password
according to the various security standards we are subject to.
Managing the root password is not exactly a piece of cake, I was hoping to get rid of
it.
