[Puppet Users] hiera questions

I'm starting to use hiera more, to try to clean up and better modularize some of our stuff. I know you can use various facts (such as $::hostname) when defining the hierarchy and where to look. We have a few variables that are set based on patterns of hostname, and currently we have a selector

One way I have seen for setting up system users is to create them virtually and then realize them with the spaceship operator, say by ggroup -- like this: User <| groups == 'wheel' |> Reference: http://www.mail-archive.com/puppet-users@googlegroups.com/msg29719.html In the referenced posting,
