I'm doing some funky things to have some shared user accounts realize SSH
keys of authorised users.
To cut a long story short, everything basically works, except there's a
case where I need to discover the home directory path of a user that has
been previously created.
I had originally had an inline template:
$home = inline_template("<%= Etc::getpwnam('${user}')['dir'] %>")
but I then realised that this won't work because it's obviously evaluated
on the server.
My question is, can I lookup a value from an existing object in a similar
way to this:
$andy_home = $::role ? {
special_case => '/andy',
default => '/home/andy',
}
user { 'andy':
home => $andy_home,
}
$user_home = User['andy']['home']
notice("Andy's home directory is: $user_home")
cheers,
Andy
