Offhand, does anyone know the difference between the 2
constructs below to manage secondary groups ?
This is the ''groupadd'' provider I think (CentOS).
Think I''d prefer the former if the result is the same
(I create these users in a definition and it''s simpler to not touch
it).
group { "foo":
members => [ "eeny", "meeny", "miney" ]
}
and
user { "eeny":
...
groups => ["foo"]
...
}
user { "meeny":
...
groups => ["foo"]
...
}
user { "miney":
...
groups => ["foo"]
...
}

How did you think it might be different? The path to execution within Puppet will be different, which may or may not matter to you. -- Bruce Remember you''re a Womble. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Ah, turns out the group type doesn''t support the ''members'' attribute on CentOS anyway - dilemma avoided :) On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 11:20 AM, Dick Davies <sisred@cf.ac.uk> wrote:> On Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 9:52 AM, Bruce Richardson <itsbruce@workshy.org> wrote: >> On Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 09:31:54AM +0000, Dick Davies wrote: >>> Offhand, does anyone know the difference between the 2 >>> constructs below to manage secondary groups ? >>> This is the ''groupadd'' provider I think (CentOS). >>> Think I''d prefer the former if the result is the same >> >> The result will be the same.
