Oh, no, we would be requiring /export/home, not /export.
user { 'foo':
home => '/export/home/foo
}
/export/home/foo => Autofs controlled
/export/home => Something Puppet creates
If it doesn't create it, then nothing happens, no added complexity.
I'm not sure what kind of surprise you could have with autorequiring
/export/home. I'm also not sure what complexity arises.
file { '/export': ensure => 'directory' }
file { '/export/home': ensure => 'directory' }
user { 'foo': home => '/export/home/foo' } # This probably needs to come
after /export/home, otherwise the user will get a nasty surprise when they
first login
Sure, I *can* create the user without having the directory in place. But
what good does that do anyone?
