Hello,
we are quite happily using puppet but our setup needs a bit of
cleanup. Forgive me minor errors I''m writing this from scratch now:
The following layout:
--- File site.pp:
import "groups/*"
import "users/*"
node default{
# I''d like to avoid the following line to be uncommented
# include "group_users"
include "user_james"
}
--- File groups/sshallowed_users.pp:
class sshallowed_users{ "sshallowed_users":
name => "sshallowed",
ensure => present
}
class group_users{ "group_users":
name => "users",
gid => 1000,
ensure => present
}
--- File users/user_james.pp:
class user_james{ "user_james":
name => "james",
gid => "james",
# This could fail if not all groups are already present
# for which I''d need require - correct?
groups => ["sshallowed", "users"]
# Now this obviously fails
require => [Group["sshallowed_users"], Group["users"]
],
ensure => present
}
in users/user_james.pp I''d like to specify that
a) james is in the groups "sshallowed" and "users"
b) then of course require those groups to be present at the time of
creating james.
I could include the group classes in the node but that seems not the
way to go. How do you typically layout such things. Looking at the
best practices I can''t quite figure out how to do that.
Generally how can I require something that i need to import
like>>import "../groups/*"<< (am I still making sense?). I
think I''m on
the totally wrong track right now as this throws an import loop at
me...
thanks
martin
