Create user "bridgescan" on polyanthum

Please create a new user, "bridgescan", on polyanthum.

We will run the golang service that we developed over here from this user account.

the bridgescan user has been created on polyanthum. i made it so the bridgedb group can sudo -u bridgescan so I hope that's alright.

i would like to try with you folks another way to start the service, but i'll discuss that in that other ticket.

so just a heads up: don't start the thing with a @reboot cronjob yet please. :)

Replying to anarcat:

Hmm, my user account phw is in the bridgedb group but I don't seem to be allowed to run commands as bridgescan:

phw@polyanthum:~$ id
uid=2040(phw) gid=2040(phw) groups=2040(phw),1501(torproject),1531(bridgedb),2060(globe)
phw@polyanthum:~$ sudo -u bridgescan id
Sorry, user phw is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/id' as bridgescan on polyanthum.torproject.org.

Ok, gotcha.

oops, the file hadn't been propagated through puppet. try again?
