What is ES prefered way of adding new users to the system? From LDAP?

Yes, using the refresh membership job to pull users from LDAP is the
preferred way to add users. The LDAP pull is the only "clean" way to
add users, since the code it runs is not exposed via any admin
screen. (There is a SQL script to manually add users, but it may be
broken, as it was written a long time ago and may not have been
updated.)

I actually just updated the CreatePerson database function for adding
new users into the database to make it compatible with ES 2.0.

I like the LDAP way for adding users and for removal of locked accounts. I actually just updated my removal script to make it compatible with ES 2.0 :-). Sometimes it is a legal requirement. A where clause locked date older than x could/should be added. In the Tomcat section of the new installation guide I am missing the log directory for Eurekastreams in catalina.properties?

The LDAP approach is also my preferred approach, but for those people
out there that want to get started a little quicker without having to
set up LDAP to support, this is an alternative.

If you are referring to the eureka specific log files, they are
controlled by log4j and there should be a log4j.xml file in the
application folder under Tomcat. If you are using the default config
for Tomcat, this would be ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/conf/log4j.xml

Yes, but log4j.xml is referring to log.home.
As mentioned in the previous quick install guide that should be specified like log.home=${catalina.base}/logs/eureka in catalina.properties.
Or am I missing something?
