In terms of naming I'd rather see the base class be called useradd_base to
match the naming of similar existing classes. For the new class, I'm not sure
usersettings is really an appropriate name, perhaps something like
"useradd_real" or "useraccount" or something else that more accurately reflects 
what it is for?

Cheers,
Paul
