Good morning, I have a question concerning puppet and modifying user data. I am on Mac OS X 10.8.5 with puppet 3.4.2. I would like to run a manifest with the following content: file { "/Users/${id}/Desktop/testfile": ensure => file, } file { "/usr/testfile": ensure => file, } For this manifest you need root access and you have to know the current logged in user. But the fact $id is, of course, "root" because I have to run this manifest as root. So how can I get the current logged in user as a variable? Thanks in advance. Kind regards.
