It depends how you provision them.

For example, if you provision dialup accounts with RADIUS, a `slipip'
field containing an IP address or `0e0' turns on provisioning to RADIUS. 
If you provision POP Mail with a shell account with a particular shell
(say, "bin/false"), any records with a `uid' are exported to your
passwd/shadow/master.passwd files, and you can set the `shell' field fixed
and to "/bin/false".

You might want to look at the edit screen for service definitions and
httemplate/docs/export.html.  You *are* using a 1.4.0 snapshot, right? 
This is the -devel list, after all.  :) 

Oh, and this will all change Real Soon.  Anything with a username will
still live in svc_acct, but the data on which usernames export to which
machines will all go into the database instead of being kludgy rules in
svc_acct.export and configuration files.
