Joseph, thanks for that reference! Interesting... ideally, I _would_ to make a 
new user for the purposes of this test. However, I'm not sure if there's a 
platform-independent way to do this, so it might require an `#ifdef`? OSX 
doesn't have `useradd`, for example. Since both linux and OSX do have the 
"nobody" user, this single piece of code works for those platforms, so it might 
be preferable?
