No, I created this pool by using some simple resource definitions based
on the ssh_authorized_key function.

I think I didn't got it yet but just to stay with your example I'm using
the following definition:
------------------------------------------------------
[...]
define pooled_user($realname="anonymous") {
user { "$name": description => $realname, ... }
# insert code here to make sure ~/.ssh/ exists etc.
ssh_authorized_key { "[email protected]_for_$name":
key => "KEY-PLACEHOLDER"
}
}
[...]
------------------------------------------------------
When using the realize statement I don't know which naming attribute to
use? The "key =>" contains a template or even the PEM encoded key of
user "jim" but except it's resource name "[email protected]_for_$name"
there is no naming attribute for this resource.
So of course puppet throws an error when using the following definition
because virtual resource "jim" cannot be found.
------------------------------------------------------
[...]
realize(pooled_user[jim])
[...]
------------------------------------------------------
I have read about virtual resources within the documentation under
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/virtual_resources.html but obviously I
don't know how to handle them.
I've just started learning how to use puppet a few days ago, so it would
be great if you could give me some additional hints on how to make it
through all this.
