Public bug reported:

The behavior of cc_users_groups leads to a pre-existing user account
being locked out (by default).

The fix: "return False" from add_user() when the account pre-exists.
Then add a conditional to create_user() to also skip password
manipulation if the account already existed.

if not self.add_user(name, **kwargs):
    LOG.info("User %s already exists, skipping password setting." % name)
    return False
