Title: Message Title

Tim Diels created an issue   Puppet / PUP-1949 Add user_attributes type (only modifies existing users) Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Kylo Ginsberg Components: Types and Providers Created: 14/Mar/14 5:23 AM Priority: Minor Reporter: Tim Diels To avoid a too coarse dependency, I suggest addition of the following type: user_attributes. It allows modifying existing users, but never creates/deletes them. This then allows e.g.: class shell { file {'/etc/zshrc': ensure => 'present', owner => 'root', } } class shell::user { require shell user_attributes {'root': shell => '/bin/zsh', } } include shell::user If we had used the user type here, this would have caused a cyclic dependency. Detail: user_attributes has more or less the same attributes as user type, minus ensure and any other attributes related to user creation.
