nixpkgs/system/users-groups.nix
Eelco Dolstra 29c5178bdf * Declarative specification of user accounts. Jobs can now specify a
list of user accounts that the job needs to run.  For instance, the
  SSH daemon job says:

    { name = "sshd";
      uid = (import ../system/ids.nix).uids.sshd;
      description = "SSH privilege separation user";
      home = "/var/empty";
    }

  The activation script creates the system users/groups and updates
  them as well.  So a change in the Nix expression can be realised in
  /etc/{group,passwd} by running nixos-rebuild.
