NAME
    Test::Unix::User - Test::Builder based tests for Unix users and home
    directories

VERSION
    Version 0.02

SYNOPSIS
        use Test::Unix::User tests => 2;

        user_ok({ name => 'nik', uid => 1000, ... },
                "Verify nik's account");

        homedir_ok({ name => 'nik', perm => 0755, ... },
                   "Verify nik's home directory");

    Test::Unix::User automatically exports "user_ok()" and "homedir_ok()" to
    make it easier to test whether or not the Unix users and home
    directories on the system have been correctly configured.

    Test::Unix::User uses Test::Builder, so plays nicely with Test::Simple,
    Test::More, and other Test::Builder based modules.

FUNCTIONS
  user_ok($spec, [ $test_name ]);
    user_ok() tests that an account exists that matches the given
    specification.

    The specification is a hashref that consists of one or more keys. Keys
    are taken from the User::pwent module, and are "name", "passwd", "uid",
    "gid", "change", "age", "quota", "comment", "class", "gecos", "dir",
    "shell", and "expire". Some of these may not be supported on your
    platform. See User::pwent for more details.

    Each value associated with a key is the value that that entry is
    supposed to have.

    Only the "name" key is mandatory, the others are optional. If they are
    not present in the specification then they are not checked.

    The $test_name is optional. If it is not present then a sensible one is
    generated following the form

        Checking user '$user' ($key, $key, $key, ...)

  homedir_ok($spec, [ $test_name ]);
    "homedir_ok()" checks that the home directory for a given user exists
    and matches the specification.

    The specification is a hashref that consists of one or more keys. Valid
    keys are "name", "uid", "gid", "owner", "group", and "perm".

    The "name" key is mandatory, the other keys are optional.

    The $test_name is optional. If it is not present then a sensible one is
    generated following the form.

        Home directory for user '$user' ($key, $key, $key, ...)

    Use "uid" when you want to check the numeric user id assigned to the
    directory, irrespective of the user name that is assigned to that uid.
    Use "owner" when you are interested in the name of the owner, without
    being concerned about the numeric UID. Use both of these together to
    ensure that the UID and the owner name match.

    "gid" is to "group" as "uid" is to "owner".

EXAMPLES
    Verify that an account exists

        user_ok({ name => 'nik' }, "'nik' exists as a user");

    Verify that the account exists, that it has a given UID, and that the
    home directory and shell match. Omit the test name, rely on the default.

        user_ok({ name => 'nik', uid => 1001, dir => '/home/nik', 
                  shell => '/bin/sh');

    Check that the home directory for 'nik' exists. Use an automatically
    generated test name.

        homedir_ok({ name => 'nik' });

    Test that nik's home directory is owned by the 'nik' user, without
    worrying what UID is assigned to that user.

        homedir_ok({ name => 'nik', owner => 'nik' });

    Ensure that nik's home directory is owned by uid 1000, and that uid 1000
    maps back to the 'nik' user

        homedir_ok({ name => 'nik', uid => 1000, owner => 'nik');

    Check the permissions on the home directory, and supply our own test
    name.

        homedir_ok({ name => 'nik', perm => 0755 },
                   "Nik's home directory is correctly set");
