Puppet users - May 2010 - adding users help.

I want to be able to add additional resources to my virtual users,
such as force a file or directory to exist if I realize that user, if
someone could point me in the right direction, I’m guessing i need to
use a definition I’m just not sure on the best way to do it. This is
what I have currently:

nodes.pp
node ''foo.bar.com'' {
  include user::storageadmins
}

storageadmin.pp:
class user::storageadmins inherits user::virtual {
    realize(
        User["aguy"],
        User["agirl"]
    )
}

class user::virtual {
    @user { "aguy":
        ensure  => "present",
        uid     => "1001",
        gid     => "14",
        comment => "",
        home    => "/export/home/aguy",
        shell   => "/bin/bash",
    managehome => "true",
    }

    @user { "agirl":
        ensure  => "present",
        uid     => "1002",
        gid     => "14",
        comment => "",
        home    => "/export/home/agirl",
        shell   => "/bin/bash",
        managehome => "true",
    }

What I want to do is now force these users to create a home directory
and .ssh directory. I know managehome will initially create the home
directory, but if you remove it, it will not auto recreate it.

This is how I have done it with non-virtual users, but from what I
read I should be using virtual users instead of the way I am currently
doing it.

users.pp
class user_aguy {
    user { "aguy":
        gid => ''sysadmin'',
        uid => ''1001'',
        comment => ''aguy'',
        ensure => ''present'',
        managehome => ''true'',
        home => ''/export/home/aguy'',
        shell => ''/bin/bash''
    }
    file { "/export/home/aguy":
        ensure => ''directory'',
        require => User[''mrk1207''],
        owner => ''mrk1207'',
        group => ''sysadmin'',
        mode => ''700'',
    }
    file { "/export/home/aguy/.ssh":
        ensure => ''directory'',
        require => aguy,
        owner => ''aguy'',
        group => ''sysadmin'',
        mode => ''700'',
    }
}

groups.pp
class unix_team {
    include aguy
}

nodes.pp
node ''foo.bar.com'' {
  include unix_team

A definition is a good way, yes.  Like this:

     define myuser($uid, $comment, ...)
     {
         user {
             $name:
                 uid => $uid, comment => $comment, ...;
         }
         file {
             "/home/$name":
                 ensure => directory, owner => $name, ...;
             "/home/$name/.ssh":
                 ensure => directory, owner => $name, ...;
         }
     }

     class our-users
     {
         @myuser { "aguy": uid => 1001, ...; }
         @myuser { "agirl": uid => 1002, ...; }
         @myuser { "analien": uid => 1003, ...; }
     }

     class storageadmins
     {
         include our-users
         realize(User["aguy"], User["agirl"])
     }

A slight modification is to declare if the user should be an admin
or not in the myuser definition.  Add a parameter $type to myuser
(without actually using it inside the definition), and do:

     class our-users
     {
         @myuser { "aguy": uid => 1001, type =>
"storageadmin", ...; }
         @myuser { "agirl": uid => 1002, type =>
"storageadmin", ...; }
         @myuser { "analien": uid => 1003, type =>
"nonadmin", ...; }
     }

     class storageadmins
     {
         include our-users
         Myuser <| type == "storageadmin" |>
     }

It''s up to your taste to determine which version is preferable.
