Re: [Puppet-dev] Re: Autorequiring parent directories to the home directory in user resources

That's a really good point and an unfortunate situation, kind of like the group/user dependency chain for removals. So, there goes that thread :-) On Fri, Mar 6, 2015 at 9:23 AM, Erik Dalén wrote: > > > On Fri, 6 Mar 2015 at 15:04 Felix Frank > wrote: > >> On 03/06/2015 02:45 PM, Trevor Vaugha

Sorry for the confusion. That's what I get for typing prior to the morning caffeine. Trevor On Fri, Mar 6, 2015 at 9:03 AM, Felix Frank wrote: > On 03/06/2015 02:45 PM, Trevor Vaughan wrote: > > file { '/export': ensure => 'directory' } > > file { '/export/home': ensure => 'directory' } > > use

Re: [Puppet-dev] Re: Autorequiring parent directories to the home directory in user resources

Oh, no, we would be requiring /export/home, not /export. user { 'foo': home => '/export/home/foo } /export/home/foo => Autofs controlled /export/home => Something Puppet creates If it doesn't create it, then nothing happens, no added complexity. I'm not sure what kind of surprise you could ha

Re: [Puppet-dev] Re: Autorequiring parent directories to the home directory in user resources

Interestingly, I ran into just this issue yesterday. The scenario was using autofs. Autofs home directories get installed in /export/home/$USER. Autofs takes care of $USER. However, puppet takes care of /export and /home. So, if all resources are managed by Puppet, then User['foo'] should autor

Since we're winding down :) As nobody seems to love generated resources as passionately as I do (it's OK, we still have each other), I would still ask for a compromise: Autorequire does make sense, but can we tone it down? As I understand it, the following resource user { 'foo': home => '/var/li

Re: [Puppet-dev] Re: Autorequiring parent directories to the home directory in user resources

Indeed, I too apologize for the complete tangent! And, as would be expected, I'm for the autorequires since it does what I would expect it to do. Which, again, is counter to what John wants ;-). But, that's my answer to the original question. Thanks, Trevor On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 3:37 PM, John
