I want to be able to add additional resources to my virtual users, such as force a file or directory to exist if I realize that user, if someone could point me in the right direction, I’m guessing i need to use a definition I’m just not sure on the best way to do it.
A definition is a good way, yes. Like this: define myuser($uid, $comment, ...) { user { $name: uid => $uid, comment => $comment, ...; } file { "/home/$name": ensure => directory, owner => $name, ...; "/home/$name/.ssh": ensure => directory, owner => $name, ...; } } class our-users { @myuser { "aguy": uid => 1001, ...; } @myuser { "agirl": uid => 1002, ...; } @myuser { "analien": uid => 1003, ...; } } class storageadmins { include our-users realize(User["aguy"], User["agirl"]) } A slight modification is to declare if the user should be an admin or not in the myuser definition. Add a parameter $type to myuser (without actually using it inside the definition), and do: class our-users { @myuser { "aguy": uid => 1001, type => "storageadmin", ...; } @myuser { "agirl": uid => 1002, type => "storageadmin", ...; } @myuser { "analien": uid => 1003, type => "nonadmin", ...; } } class storageadmins { include our-users Myuser <| type == "storageadmin" |> } It's up to your taste to determine which version is preferable. /Bellman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
