I need to add a puppet demon user :)
From my puppet .mog file;-) Just for private packages as well;-)
---------------------------------------
group groupname=puppet gid=60015
user username=puppet uid=60015 group=puppet gcos-field="Puppet Master
User" home-dir=/etc/opt/xx/puppet login-shell=/bin/false
---------------------------------------
I hope that helps a bit;-)
(side issue: hey, how about making an "official" puppet IPS package?
Making a decent one is turning out to be surprisingly challenging, and
the rugby gem is broken for puppet 3.x)
If it's just a uid for a daemon to use, then the user action should be
sufficient. See the developer guide or the pkg(5) man page.
Could you reference a more focused example, please?
That manpage didnt seem to give a specific example, and googling
"IPS developer guide" pulls up a PDF, of a slideshow
PDF's are not very developer (or sysadmin) friendly at the best of times.
