My question is about using
resources { ''user'':
purge => true,
}
On http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/type.html#resources it mentions
a parameter "unless_system_user" :
"This keeps system users from being purged. By default, it does not
purge users
whose UIDs are less than or equal to 500, but you can specify a different
UID
as the inclusive limit. Valid values are true, false. Values can match
/^\d+$/."
Are the following examples valid ? !! with the understanding that only ONE
would be used !!
# the first two are obvious, but I prefer to have the examples
resources { ''user'':
purge => true,
unless_system_user => false,
}
resources { ''user'':
purge => true,
unless_system_user => true,
}
# this is the REAL question
resources { ''user'':
purge => true,
unless_system_user => ''1000'',
}

universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.”

Absolutely. That''s why I started by asking for a sanity / syntax check. Thanks for your response.
