Add user_attributes type (only modifies existing users)

Priority:
Minor
Reporter:

To avoid a too coarse dependency, I suggest addition of the following type: user_attributes. It allows modifying existing users, but never creates/deletes them.
This then allows e.g.:
class shell {
file {'/etc/zshrc':
ensure = 'present',
owner = 'root',
}
}
class shell::user {
require shell
user_attributes {'root':
shell = '/bin/zsh',
}
}
include shell::user
If we had used the user type here, this would have caused a cyclic dependency.
Detail: user_attributes has more or less the same attributes as user type, minus ensure and any other attributes related to user creation.

Re: Add user_attributes type (only modifies existing users)
On second thought, this can be resolved with an exec { 'chsh'}
, and for most attributes it can be resolved with exec {'usermod'}
. Those are sufficiently cross-platform for my needs.
If adding anything, it'd probably be better to go with a type per attribute: user_shell_attr, user_group_membership, ... to encapsulate the cross-platform provisions.
