User CCK

Do you know of a module that would/could tie a user profile to a CCK created content-type?
Here's our problem: we are moving away from CiviCRM (don't get me started with the issues). Can we tie a particular content-type (or multiple content-types) through the use something like the Subforms modules to user profiles? Can we then let user creation spawn two records-- a user record; and a new node coupled to the user record? Then the content node could be used in isolation; or the user account could be edited later and those changes would alter the associated node?

User profile is great, but that creates more information for a particular user profile. We have a list of users; we have a list of contacts in content-types. There is some intersection of the two sets, but it's nowhere near 1:1, so we need to maintain the contact content-type and the user accounts but allow some commonality.

So this would behave like and/or depend upon:

• user profile
• node access
• sub-forms
• cck

I could see how I could write something like this, but I do not want to pave the same road twice if something like this exists.

Thanks in advance,

Mike
