I would like to have puppet handle the whole process automatically, without manually specifying the user. The steps would be roughly these: 1. puppet detects the logged in username and sets this as a variable 2. puppet outputs a customized .gtk-bookmarks file with the network paths inside, in this format smb://domain.com;john...@url.of.the.server/home$/johndoe Johndoe share 3. puppet saves this file as /home/johndoe/.gtk-bookmarks What's the meaning of all this? We're about to deploy Ubuntu 10.04 LTS workstations on a big corporate network, thus we would like to automate the set-up of the Gnome desktop. We need the users to find the shares already setup at their first login, no matter what's the username. We used gconftool to setup systemwide settings like lock screen after screensaver startup and so on, but shares can't be managed by gconftool. Using puppet to write a customized version of the .gtk-bookmarks depending on the user seemed feasible, but I'm open to alternatives.
