This is a generic User manipulation class - generic in this case
meaning it is aimed at Linuxish platforms using useradd/userdel/usermod
On object creation it will load the most appropriate subclass based
on the platform and distribution.
A subclass may wish to override the following action methods:-
- create_user()
- remove_user()
- modify_user()
- ssh_key_gen()
- ssh_key_fingerprint()
The main function also uses the following User methods to decide
what to do:-
- user_exists()
All subclasses MUST define platform and distribution (which may be None).
