It has nothing to do with the name server. named doesn't even know that
useradd exists, far less use it. You'll need to find out yourself who
or what is invoking useradd -- whatever that is -- on your system. Maybe
there's some package install manager that's running this? Or perhaps a
user is running useradd?
