> We need to start storing regular users as well as many other things like groups under the ou=system context.  Let's start first by managing users under ou=users,ou=system.  This container should automatically get created on the first db-creating bootstrap.  The admin user at uid=admin,ou=system is very special.  This entry was not placed under ou=users,ou=system on purpose.  Other administrative users can exist as ou=users subordinates however this user is not there for security reasons.  First its clear what its for and secondly we don't want someone searching for it under ou=users.  
> If we really want to an alias can be created in uid=admin,ou=users,ou=system to point to uid=admin,ou=system.  However I recommend against this.
