No its not a tool but a utility used in my project. They edit the passwd,group,aliases,auto.home files with this like

$which enis
/local/sbin/enis

$enis passwd

Do you want to check these changes first?[y/N]? -------> press enter to check the changes first.
Press any key to continue? ------------> press any key.
then fill the syntax as per request
username Smilie

asswd:uid:gid:GCOS:homedir:loginshell

finally save this
:wq!

Do you want to save these changes?[Y/N]? Y

Do you want to "make passwd" [y/N]?

once you press YES here it updates the maps in the master server automatically. This is the scenario which is confusing me a bit so i posted this to take help from seniors like you.

partimaged-passwd

partimaged-passwd(8)				       Partition Image Server Configuration				      partimaged-passwd(8)

NAME

       partimaged-passwd - Manage partimaged user accounts

SYNTAX

       partimaged-passwd [-Dhl] username password
       partimaged-passwd [-Dhl] username

DESCRIPTION

       partimaged can either authenticate against local user accounts (This needs access to /etc/shadow. As this is a potential security risk this
       method is not recommended) or its own password database in /etc/partimaged/passwd.db. To simplify the management  of  the  partimaged  user
       database  this tool was written. It allows to easily add and remove users or list the users in the database. All users in this database are
       allowed to access the partimaged server.

OPTIONS

       -D username
	      Delete the specified user from the password file.

       -l     List users in password file and exit.

       -h     Output help information and exit.

FILES

       /etc/partimaged/passwd.db
