Hi all,

When our LDAP users log into a server for the first time, PAM creates
their home directory. We use Puppet to define which groups of users
(i.e. LDAP groups) than may log into the server, by setting a
parameter ldap_allowed_users in Puppet Dashboard for the specific
server. Our ldap_allowed_users is a string than may contain multiple
groups such as "linuxadmins oracleadmins networkadmins".

Now, what I'd like to get working is having puppet host some of the
users' home directory files such as .bash_profile. So for example if
Puppet could start hosting those files for users that have access to
the server that would be great. Puppet could either extract the users
names based on the groups listed in ldap_allowed_users, or based on
the existance of their home directories. The latter would cause a
(small) delay from the users logs in the first time to puppet starts
hosting the files, but I'm pretty sure our users would be ok with
that.

So, does anyone have a idea as to how to get kind of thing working?


Best regards,
Kenneth Holter
