Well I haven't got on top of debugging the createhomdir but I just
wanted to let you know how we got the command to work. this is the
exec as follows
exec {'username':
command =>"cp -R /System/Library/templateuser/English.lproj/ /
Users/username/",
path =>"/bin/",
#everything else that we where using has been commented out.
}
The path command was key and one of my managers was just screwing with
it and got it to work. The manifests are different a little bit
because i went in and changed the "User Template" to "templateuser"
because i thought puppet was having a hard time on the files with
spaces. Just thought you would want to know. Again thank you so much
you are awesome Nigel, if there is anything I could do for you just
let me know:)
