I'd like to use puppet to create users. Specifically, I'd like to create users, ensure the .ssh dirs are there, add them to the adm group, that sort of thing. I'm wondering how to do this, I've been looking through the docs but I could use a bit of help... any pointers? --~--~-~--~~--

Udo, By default, users are added to the groups specified by the "groups" parameter in *addition* to any groups they may already be a part of. See the "membership" parameter under http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#id229 >From an ideological perspective, though, you should pr

Thanks for the clarifications. I guess that making this operator a general one would be a huge endeavor. My initial wish, to add a user to a certain group would then be possible, without having the user's group specified elsewhere. Lets suppose we have a user 'test' which is a member of gr

[Puppet Users] puppet failure notification

2008-11-27 Thread Benoit Decherf
Hi, When something goes wrong during the installation of a node, it seems that there is no notification (in the server) that the installation fails. I am right ? How do you know that the node you just installed is correctly installed ? (I don't find any information on this in puppetshow) Is th
