ndt-users list created

If possible, it might be a good idea to code an init script against
the LSB so it'll work (in theory) on both rhel and debian based
systems.

<http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/tocsysinit.html>

Debian has made an effort towards doing this, but it seems like
they're still having some issues with it.
