it's not right now since wafalias assumes that people with the same username
in the shell and in waffle are the same person...

maybe the 'add a shell user' script needs to add a corresponding waffle user
and the 'waffle newuser signup' needs to add a corresponding shell account
(obviously with only one of them able to be logged into).

there are other waffle sites out there under unix...
what do YOU folks do ???
