Puppet users - Mar 2011 - Virtual user, depends on "group" being created first?

I want to realize some virtual users on several systems, but I want
that to depend upon a certain group being present (and created if
needed) first.   How can I do this?

The following works, because the group is being realized first.

        Group <| title == mygroup |>
        User <| title == mygroup |>

Do you want to require the group every time you realize the relevant user?

If so, you can just put a require => in the User resource, and it will do
the right thing.

If you don''t, then you can do the relationship definition outside the
resource definition like:

Group["mygroup"] -> User["mygroup"]

or even collapse the realization and relationship definition together if
they''re both virtual.

Group <| title == mygroup |> -> User <| title == mygroup |>
