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: -

According to the documentation at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/2.7/reference/lang_conditional.html#if-statements, you can test for truth with syntax like this: if $is_virtual == ''true'' { AFAICT that''s not the case. The quotes around ''true'' make the comparison always fail. Here''s my test case class users {

Dear all I am looking for a solution for a module to define alle possible user and then install the one or more user from that module if needed on a server, but not all of them. My idea is something like this. Can I define a user in the nodes.pp at a special Server to install that user? init.pp class admin_user::group { group { "group1": gid => "888",

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 write something like: class admins { @user { "username": ... } @ssh_authorized_key { "username": ensure => present, key => "...",

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.

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:

All, Does anyone has any experience with Capistrano against a CVS repository? I am unable to successfully pull a revision onto my remote server when hitting a CVS repository.

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 all, I used to run Samba 2.2.9 on Debian Woody. Yesterday I upgraded it (with all necessary packages) to 3.0.7. Since then, Samba on that server do not respond to netbios queries, only to direct access via IP. Also, when I try to resolv its name using nmblookup, I cannot find it. When I access to server via IP address everything works fine. Any idea ? TIA -- Eng. Dusan Djordjevic

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

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

As I try to get some flexibility in the creation of users, I switched to a define. problem is, I can''t pass an array of user groups anymore. This either results in - wrong group creation: group1,group1group2,group2 (see that group1 and group2 are concatenated in the middle, undefined group) - error: Group names must be provided as an array, not a comma-separated list. I use the

I am trying to handle in my user class assigning user to groups, and handling that some groups might not be defined for that node. Example here is handling a non-datase node, "juser" fails with "Error: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter groups failed on User[juser]: Group names must not be empty. If you want to specify "no groups" pass an empty array" even in

Hi all, I''m interested pushing my user list out of my users manifest and into Hiera. Unfortunately I haven''t been able to get it to work the way I thought it would. The error suggests that perhaps create_resources cannot create virtual resources, but the docs I''ve read so far don''t address it. The class (in init.pp): class users { $system_users =

I am trying to add ability to add virtual users to the git://github.com/erwbgy/puppet-system.git module as I really want the ability to use virtual users and then combine that with "User <| group == ''x'' and group == ''y'' |>" way of realizing the users. This is much more flexible than what I can do with this module out of the box. Using the

Hi how do I tell with user type to use userdel with -r short of using exec type? i have a user account called `foo'' so i created a test puppet file local to the system called test.pp # cat test.pp user {"foo": ensure => absent, managehome => true, } when I apply it on solaris or linux the userdel does not use the `-r'' switch

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.
