        };

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

   account($name, %option)
       Manage user account.

        account "krimdomu",
          ensure         => "present",  # default
          uid            => 509,
          home           => '/root',
          comment        => 'User Account',
          expire         => '2011-05-30',
          groups         => [ 'root', '...' ],
          login_class    => 'staff',   # on OpenBSD
          password       => 'blahblah',
          crypt_password => '*', # on Linux, OpenBSD and NetBSD
          system         => 1,
          create_home    => TRUE,
          shell          => '/bin/bash',
          ssh_key        => "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQChUw...";

       There is also a no_create_home option similar to create_home but doing the opposite. If
       both used, create_home takes precedence as it the preferred option to specify home
       directory creation policy.

       If none of them are specified, Rex follows the remote system's home creation policy.

       The crypt_password option specifies the encrypted value as found in /etc/shadow; on Linux
       special values are '*' and '!' which mean 'disabled password' and 'disabled login'
       respectively.

   create_user($user => {})
       Create or update a user.

       This function supports the following hooks:

       before
           This gets executed before the user is created. All original parameters are passed to
           it.

       after
           This gets executed after the user is created. All original parameters, and the user's
           "UID" are passed to it.

   get_uid($user)
       Returns the uid of $user.

   get_user($user)
       Returns all information about $user.

   user_groups($user)
       Returns group membership about $user.

   user_list()
       Returns user list via getent passwd.

        task "list_user", "server01", sub {
          for my $user (user_list) {
            print "name: $user / uid: " . get_uid($user) . "\n";
          }
        };

   delete_user($user)
       Delete a user from the system.

        delete_user "trak", {

          force     => 1,
        };
