I need to be able to delegate certain user administration tasks (basic
moves, adds and changes)  I can do this by allowing access to useradd,
usermod and userdel via sudo, but I believe that also would allow those
users to escalate their own privileges.  (for instance, using usermod to
add themselves to the wheel group)  That is sub-optimal...

Suggestions?
