Indeed, the internal function is great and makes much more sense - I wasn't
aware there was one for packages (have only recently started using CFEngine
properyl, so still learning the ropes).
Is there a similar method for managing users and groups? I had come up
with the following (similar lines to what I had started trying to do
with rpms), but I want it to report when a user does not exist.
My aim here is eventually have cfengine add any missing users/groups, and
correct any wrong uids/gids:
body common control
{
bundlesequence => { "usermanagement" };
}
###########################################################
bundle agent usermanagement
{
vars:
linux::
"users" slist => {
"root",
"test2",
};
"id[root]" int => "0";
"id[test2]" int => "3001";
"users_exist" string => canonify(userexists("$(users)")),
comment => "Check if $(users) exist";
reports:
linux::
"/bin/echo $(users) exists",
ifvarclass => canonify(userexists("$(users)"));
"/bin/echo $(users) UID and GID is $(id[$(users)])";
}
