# **create-stack-user.sh**

# Create a user account suitable for running DevStack
# - create a group named $STACK_USER if it does not exist
# - create a user named $STACK_USER if it does not exist
#   - home is $DEST
# - configure sudo for $STACK_USER

# ``stack.sh`` was never intended to run as root.  It had a hack to do what is
# now in this script and re-launch itself, but that hack was less than perfect
# and it was time for this nonsense to stop.  Run this script as root to create
# the user and configure sudo.

# ``os_RELEASE``, ``os_UPDATE``, ``os_PACKAGE``, ``os_CODENAME``
