Hi all, is there a way to avoid changing the state (present/absent) of a user? In my case I just want to do a kind of 'check' if the user is present. If so, I will do some file-resource stuff on him. If not, nothing should be done at all.
Example: # create the user resource user { 'someuser': ... } # copy file if user exists # do nothing if not file { "/home/someuser/.bashrc": require => "someuser", ... } Obviously I cannot use 'ensure => present|absent' for the user, since this would change its state. And I'm not sure if it's OK just to omit the 'ensure' attribute. Any ideas? Thanks Bernd -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
