similar to: create user and push out keys.

Hello, from the doc it seems that the User type has a provider of ''pw'' for FreeBSD. It seems the provider does not allow dupelicate, does not allow to manage the homedir and to manage password. in the code the duplicate uid is set so it seems the doc is out of date on this :) - manage home directory, i don''t really understand what is that parameter. The

I have about 30 dev. and operation users on my machines, is there a recipe anywhere for doing this? The best practices doc on the wiki is incomplete and confusing. Also, any workaround for the ssh_authorized_key bug in 24.8? All I really want to do is create users, home directories and put ssh keys in them, but it tries to add the keys first, so it doesn''t work.

Hi. I''ve defined a virtual user "kenneth", and depending on a variable in the node definiton I''d like to add the users to different groups. Consider this example: ###### Code start node "server.example.com" { $server_type = "typeA" realize User[kenneth] } @user {"kenneth": ensure => present, uid => 1000,

I''m trying to use ssh_authorized_key to manage my user''s ssh keys. I basically have this (across a couple of files): class user::virtual { @user { "seph": ensure => "present", uid => "2001", comment => "seph", home => "/home/seph", shell =>

I have a define that looks like this: define user::sys_user($fullname, $uid, $groups, $shell=''/bin/bash'', $authkey, $authkey_type=rsa) { $username = "sys_${name}" group { $username: gid => $uid, } user { $username: require => Group[$username], ensure => present,

I am furiously trying to find what I am looking for in Pickaxe book and not finding it. I''m getting some values back from a posted form and I need to get the ''id'' number off the backend. The ''String'' will always come back to me as... Some_name\r\n123 where 123 is actually the id number which I need to execute the find. The reason they are coming back

hope thus comes under the remit of this mailking list... We use puppet, and Im trying to come up with "code" that will create two user accounts with a shared groiup ID eg? user1 with UID 1000user 2 with UID 1001 but I would like them BOTH to share the GID of 2000 I've tried the following accounts::groups:? ? jointgroup:? ? ? ? gid: '2000' accounts::users: ? ? user1:? ? ? ?

I''ve just started doing TDD/BDD and like the idea of mocks. So I set out to use them. The doc pages seem great, I setup the mock and then it just works. Here is what I am trying to do: Myuser is a non-rails model of user attributes. We are going to be mocking the connection to the ldap server. The user class has a login method that connects to the ldap server and if successful,

Hi, I have a problem with running puppet with hiera based data. I am trying to cleanup user accounts on a range of servers (to have the same uid/gid). When I create existing account but with different uid/gid it doesn''t change files group ownership so I need to run a script which cleanups after cleanup ;-) I use the following code: --- :backends: - yaml :hierarchy: -

Hi, (Since I am relatively new to Puppet, this might be some trivial problem) I am trying to create a user with Puppet, using following code: user { "clavis": ensure => "present", home => "/home/clavis", name => "clavis", shell => "/bin/bash",

Hello! I''ve got question - how to use ssh_autorized_key as a virtual resource? I''ve got bunch of users and ssh_authorized_key virtual resources, but only users gets to the target system - ssh keys not...

I am using the user type function as below to create and manage user accounts in RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu, FreeBSD & BSD, I have only tried on RHEL, CentOS it works fine for user creation, but not managing homedirectory. I ran puppetd -test in Ubuntu it showed the below message in debug mode Ubuntu(Debian), don''t create homedirectory unless -m arg is passed. [0;34mdebug:

As far as I can tell, the "replace" parameter is all or nothing. What I am looking for is something like the exec/onlyif parameter that I can use to conditionally replace a file.

Hi, I''m running into a problem with the user type with puppet 0.20.1... this worked before with 0.19.x at least, not sure about 0.20. But I''ve got adduser.pp: <snip> define adduser($uid, $gid, $groups="users", $membership="minimum") { group { $name: gid => $gid, allowdupe => false, ensure

user {''username'': uid => 501, gid => ''staff'', comment => ''comment'', ensure => present, home => ''/Users/sysop'', shell =>

maybe there is a bug regarding the use of nis to mount the user's home directory at the login or my misconfiguration. After the CentOS 6.4 (64bit) installation I checked for the latest samba version on the official repository using yum: the latest version (that was already installed) is samba- 3.6.9-151.el6. >From "man smb.conf" I have seen that "nis homedir" is not yet

Ok, I have a really frustrating one here. Attached is the capture of what is on the wire when this win2k box is trying to join the domain. It was given user "root" and password "dork" to join the domain "aussec". The win2k box just comes up with unknown user or bad password... I must be missing something as another linux box can join the domain properly and it

Hi all, Using Puppet 2.5, I have a class which creates users: # cat modules/users/manifests/init.pp class users { user { ''ringo'': ensure => present, uid => ''1506'', groups => [''admin''], shell => ''/bin/bash'', home => ''/home/ringo'', managehome

Hi, When you set managehome to false on a User ressource, homedir will still be created on a CentOS box as the -M flag is not passed to useradd. $ diff -u /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/user/ useradd.rb.bak \ /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/user/useradd.rb --- /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/user/ useradd.rb.bak 2008-10-23 01:19:07.000000000 +0200
