Puppet users - Apr 2011 - How to write to user's crontab in domain environment?

Hello

All puppet clients PCs are Ubuntu 10.04lts and have membership in
Samba/LDAP domain.
Puppet server is the member of Samba/LDAP domain also.
It''s possible to log on as any domain user to Puppet server.
So :) The problem:

We''d like to start tasks with rights and environment of logged user. We
need to have at every user''s crontab such string
0 * * * * /home/scripts/changepic.sh

Configs:

part of "/etc/puppet/puppet.conf"

[puppetmasterd]
node_terminus=ldap
ldapserver = dc=imexgroup,dc=loc
ldapbase = ou=people,dc=imexgroup,dc=loc
ldapuser = cn=admin,dc=imexgroup,dc=loc
ldappassword = password


part of "/etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp"

cron { "set_wallpaper":
command => "/home/scripts/changepic.sh",
user => $username,
hour => "0",
minute => "*"
}

As far as I understand smth is wrong with syntax in cron "user =>
$username,"

Will you be so kind to assist with this problem

What is $username? A facter, a variable you''ve set up? Did you try 
adding something like ''notify{"username:
${username":}'' and manually
running the puppet agent to verify if $username is being correctly set?
