What I end up with is:
passwd = IO.readlines('/etc/passwd')
passwd.each do |line|
line =~ /(.*):(.*):(.*):(.*):(.*):(.*):(.*)/
Facter.add("home_#{$1.dup}") do
setcode do
$6.dup
end
end
end
which does exactly the same thing:
home_backup => /var/run/dbus
home_bin => /var/run/dbus
home_daemon => /var/run/dbus
home_debian-exim => /var/run/dbus
home_games => /var/run/dbus
home_gnats => /var/run/dbus
home_irc => /var/run/dbus
home_libuuid => /var/run/dbus
etc, etc.
/var/run/dbus is the home of the last /etc/passwd entry.
