Hi Matthew,
I've got no idea what's happening with NIS there, but here are some tips
for improving the rest of your manifest:

You get the "title" as $name for free, so you can remove the $username:
define hostinghome() { ... }
hostinghome{ [ "user1", "user2", "user3" ]: }
Defines define resources, so they should be called like objects, not
like actions.
file {
"/home/$username" :
When you put a variable in a string, use ${...} to avoid ambiguities
with the surroundings: e.g. "blah_$foo_blah" is equivalent to
"blah_${foo_blah}", which might not be the intended usage.
ensure => directory,
mode => 755,
owner => "$username",
No quotes needed here.
require => [ Service['ypbind'] ];
You can require the whole Class['nis::client'] here. This reduces your
need to track internal changes across modules.
"/home/$username/.ssh" :
ensure => directory,
require => [ File["/home/$username"] ],
The File type automatically requires its parent, so you can drop this
require here.
mode => 755,
owner => "$username";
"/home/$username/.bashrc" :
ensure => present,
source => "puppet:///modules/hostinghome/bashrc",
require => [ File["/home/$username"] ],
mode => 755,
owner => "$username";
"/home/$username/.bash_profile" :
ensure => present,
source => "puppet:///modules/hostinghome/bash_profile",
require => [ File["/home/$username"] ],
mode => 755,
owner => "$username";
"/home/$username/.ssh/authorized_keys" :
ensure => present,
source => "puppet:///modules/hostinghome/$username.id_rsa.pub",
require => [ File["/home/$username/.ssh"] ],
mode => 755,
owner => "$username";
}
}
The createhostinghome function fails on first run every time with the
following error:

On the second run the home directories and ownership are set correctly.
I've played with various require statements as well as before with no
success. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Since it works on the second run, it might be possible, that puppet
pre-loads the users on startup, but I'm not sure. Someone else has any
ideas/experiences?
