Sort of. Check out the 'home' wildcard and 'iterator' stuff in the Cfengine
Reference. Unfortunately, home works by pattern-patching directory paths
(mountpattern/homepattern) instead of getpwent() calls and iterators aren't
usable in editfiles. That rather dramatically limits their usefulness to
somewhat contrived situations, but you might be able to get something
working.
