Is there a CCK module that emulates the basic profile?

I am trying to use nodeprofiles to organise the profiles and want to have a CCK field that emulates the basic profile fields in order to update them when the user makes changes.

I thought of combining the usernode with nodeprofile and pageroutes but the usernode does not appear to be editable.

The usernode, along with nodefamily and nodeprofile can work. The usernode allows you to assign a content type as a 'usernode'. you can also do some adjustments according to the readme files that come with these modules that will embed the usernode into the user's profile and thus you will only see the usernode when you pull up the profile. Just read Moshe Weitzmen's documentation that comes with it and see if it will fit your need.

This is where I am at sea. I have actually experimented with the above modules but the embedding of the usernode into the profile is the part I am not familiar with. If it is necessary to edit some parts of the user profile how do you go about that? usernode does not display fields for editing.
I am considering is to create my version of the basic user profile i.e. the account settings page and use some code to pass the entries for validation by the user module and write them into the relevant databases.

Are there some techniques to implement this kind of behaviour in Drupal?

I don't know the specifics but it involved adding something to the php code in the modules file i believe. The readme's have more info.
