For $homedir_real, it takes homedir as an optional parameter, if it's not set, then it uses a default based on the username, then assigns it to $homedir_real. If $homedir is set, then it gets assigned to $homedir_real. For $username, that's taken from the title of the define for actually creating the users in our user management module as we're managing users from within Puppet. After re-reading your original message, I noticed that you stated you're managing users from LDAP, so I'm not sure if this is something you could easily incorporate into puppet to take care of, unless it's a custom script that you push out via puppet and create a cronjob for. > This is really a very valid option to keep both directories (/etc/skel and > /home/USER) with same files...but it does not REMOVE files from the HOME > directory that i don't need anymore, just remove from /etc/skel Unfortunately no, it won't clean up anything that's been removed from /etc/skel, only update user's home directories with new items in there. But that's likely due to our different use case. > Anyway thanks for your help. > -- Joseph Swick <joseph.sw...@meltwater.com> Operations Engineer Meltwater Group
