I tried to expand on it and I have setup a recipe which is not really
working yet
node basenode {
$userlist = [ "user1", "user2", "user3", .. , "user50" ]
$passwd = [ "hashkey1", "hashkey2", .. , "hashkey50" ]
$fullname = [ "fname1 lname1", "fname2 lname2",... , "fname50 lname50" ]
$uids = [ "101", "102", ... , "150" ]
user { $userlist:
ensure => "present",
uid => $uids,
gid => "1",
comment => $fullname,
home => "/export/home/$userlist",
password => $passwd,
shell => "/bin/bash",
managehome => "true",
}
}
node "node01" inherits basenode {}
....
node "node100" inherits basenode {}
