Hi!

Test generic/079 currently fails if for some reason the 'nobody' or
'daemon' users don't exist:

*** starting up
add_acl(/mnt/scratch/079/immutable.f) did not set errno == EPERM
add_acl(/mnt/scratch/079/immutable.d) did not set errno == EPERM
add_acl(/mnt/scratch/079/append-only.f) did not set errno == EPERM
add_acl(/mnt/scratch/079/append-only.d) did not set errno == EPERM
testing immutable...FAILED! (2 tests failed)
testing append-only...FAILED! (2 tests failed)
*** cleaning up

The first patch that follows adds a new function _require_user_exists()
that will verify a user exists in the system (and refactors existent
_require_user() to use the new function).

The second patch is the actual test fix.

Luis Henriques (2):
  common/rc: add _require_user_exists() to check if a user exists
  generic/079: make sure users 'nobody' and 'daemon' exist
