Hi
New to the puppet. I'm trying to make a user management module
"users", which has one definition and a bunch of classes. Here is my
structure under $modulepath :
users/manifests/classes/evergent.pp
users/manifests/classes/admins.pp
users/manifests/classes/list.pp
users/manifests/classes/outside.pp
users/manifests/classes/dbas.pp
users/manifests/defines/account.pp
users/manifests/init.pp
Definition is :
define users::account($realname, $userid, $password) {
....
}
It creates user, group, $HOME, adds user's public ssh key and chown -R
his whole $HOME
Then there is a class users::list that has all users like this :
@users::account { "root":
realname => "Root user",
userid => "1000",
password => "xxxxxxxxxxx",
}
The idea is that all users are defined as a "virtual definition" and
will be realized later.
Now there is class users:admins that has all sysadmins :
class users::admins {
realize Users::Account["root"]
}
Then in site.pp I import my "users" module :
import "users"
and in one of the nodes I include sysadmins :
node "host1.test.com" inherits "default" {
include users::admins
}
Now when I run puppetd -o -t -v on that node I get error :
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on
SERVER: Failed to realize virtual resources Users::Account[root] on
node host1.test.com
Do I do something not supported by the puppet ? I understand everyone
suggests making virtual resource user and then realize them in the
class. But I want add some thing like chown -R $HOME, ssh keys and
more. Can I use virtual definition same way as virtual resources ?
What am I doing wrong ? Any pointers to something similar would help a
lot. I've checked "Pulling strings with Puppet" book but it does not
show any example of the virtual definitions like this.
Thanks
Is that just an example or are you actually trying to make an account
named root with uid 1000?
