Moin,
I started to virtualise user. Works fine so far.
Playing a bit a problem popped up.
given:
User 'ahab' realized on a bunch of nodes node01 .. node08.
How do I delete a realized user on a node?
I was hoping to do something like
realize(User['ahab']){ensure => absent }
As this is not working
Realizing doesn't allow overrides. To remove the user:
@user ahab { ensure => absent }
realize User['ahab']
This may mean you need to use inheritence for the class the user is defined in,
creating a child class for the nodes you want to remove him on.

If you use resource collection instead of the realize function, you can
override the at

This may not fit your requirements but a slightly safer alternative
might be set your old users' shells to /bin/false and null out their
password, rather than delete them. A small added bonus is if your UIDs
are never reused then all your UIDs will resolve to user accounts, which
can be helpful
