I have the fact.
The problem is that I want to get the user's homedir based on the
$user parameter passed to my define, and ${home_${user}} doesn't
work.
I've solved the problem by handling things a different way, but it
does seem like it shouldn't be this hard to put a file in a user's
homedir.
Try this command string to obtain your custom fact for $home_user:
getent passwd | grep | cut -f6 -d':'
Be aware though, that you may experience extreme lag if you have a
faulty authentication service (NIS, LDAP, whatever).
There's probably a better way to do it, but that will at least be accu
If home_root is being set to /home or /export/home or whatever, then

that gets put into all users' home dirs?

No, because I'm making a define so I can put a bunch of files in a
bunch of different user's home directories; that why I use $user
below.

If you have a fact called home_root you would use it like this:
file { "$home_root/$user/.zshenv":
...}
Does that work for you?
