Hi,
Sorry, just so I'm clear.
You want create a user and a user group, and then add that user to an sshuser
group?
Can you create the user with all those groups by default? I don't see why it
has to be so complicated unless you have something really specific you're
trying to do.
If you want to make it more complicated I would add something like:
users.pp
....
if Class[sshclassname] {
$groups = "sshusers"
...
groups => $groups
...
}
Where you would declare the ssh class for the node then test for the
declaration when you create the user. You can also use a selector if you like.
Not sure if this is best practice though, but easier than custom facts or execs.
Cheers,
Den
