That's what I was talking about as well :) Here's an example of the cfperl syntax (users are done in a similar way): users: any:: # the group will be created if they don't exist group cftest gid =1500 cluster:: # the group will be created if they don't exist group cluster gid =1600 etc. (the conditional logic is done with the cfengine "." and "|" operators, plus parenthesis) Also you can delete groups/users. You can check if the group or user already exists in NIS or other backends, so you don't add a local copy of a global group or user too.
