Back in my Oracle days on IBM RS6000 I seem to remember we had to manually
add the user as an Oarcle user. This included sometimes two accounts.
The normal user and an OPS$usename account so they could login
automagically to an Oracle instance.
Basically I think you'll need to add them as part of the adduser/useradd
process and/or run a script against the passwd file to create them.
