Hi all,
I'm interested pushing my user list out of my users manifest and into
Hiera.  Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it to work the way I
thought it would.  The error suggests that perhaps create_resources
cannot create virtual resources, but the docs I've read so far don't
address it.

The class (in init.pp):
class users {
  $system_users  = hiera('system_users')
  $system_groups = hiera('system_groups')

  create_resources("@users::mkuser",$system_users)
  create_resources("@users::mkgroup",$system_groups)
} # class users

The define (in mkuser.pp):

define users::mkuser (
  $uid,
  $gid = undef,
  $group = undef,
  $shell = '/bin/bash',
  $home = undef,
  $ensure = 'present',
  $managehome = true,
  $dotssh = 'ensure',
  $comment = 'created via puppet',
  $groups = undef,
  $password = undef,
  $symlink = undef,
  $mode = undef
  ) {
<SNIP>
}

The error:
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
could not create resource of unknown type @users::mkuser at
/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/configurations/se/environments/development/modules/users/manifests/init.pp:29

Is this the expected behavior, or have I missed something obvious?
