That may be a bit difficult.  In the domain where the users are to be  
places is a root user entry:  <some domain>:/users/root.  To add a entry  
to the domain one of two conditions must be satisfied:  You must be logged  
into the machine that is the domain master as root;  or, you must know the  
domain's root password -- aka NetInfo network password -- when a change is  
made.
