Here is a simple example. If you have more than a tiny number of users
and/or groups, however, or if they change with any frequency, then you
should probably externalize your data instead encoding it directly in your
classes. Externalizing your data is a whole other kettle of fish, though.
<module path>/accounts/manifests/groups.pp:
----
class accounts::groups {
@group { 'testgroup': ensure => present }
@group { 'testgroup2': ensure => present }
}
<module path>/accounts/manifests/virtual.pp:
----
# note the file name --
# NOT accounts.pp as in the orginal post
define accounts::virtual ($realname,$pass,$gid,$sshkey="") {
include accounts::groups
realize Group[$gid]
user { $title:
ensure => present,
gid => $gid,
# ...
}
# Note: User autorequires Group[$gid] if it is Puppet-managed,
# so there's no need to declare that explicitly.
# ...
}
