As Doug acknowledged, that requires turning on the future parser, which PL
does not recommend for production systems. But no sweat, you can do this
with the conventional parser almost as easily. You need to grease the
wheels with a defined type:
define company::user ($ensure = 'present') {
user { $title:
ensure => $ensure,
gid => "company",
home => "/home/${title}",
managehome => true,
shell => "/bin/bash",
require => Group["company"]
}
}
Then you can do this:
class company::sshkeys ( users, ) {
company::user { $users: }
}
That's as far as your example suggested you wanted to go, but do note that
it does nothing to remove previously configured users that you no longer
want. If that's a concern to you then you could consider purging unmanaged
users via a Resources meta-resource.
