ReleaseEngineering/PuppetAgain/Modules/users

This module handles login accounts on the system. It has two classes that can be included. These are generally included high in the toplevel hierarchy.

users::global

This sets up some global (/etc) defaults for user configuration, e.g. PATH.

users::root

This sets up the root user (or, on Windows, Administrator). This provides the following easy-to-use variables, per bug 776641:

• $users::root::username
• $users::root::group
• $users::root::home

users::builder

Installs the builder user (cltbld for releng, although this can be adjusted in manifests/settings.pp). This provides the following easy-to-use variables, per bug 776641:

• $users::root::username
• $users::root::group
• $users::root::home

This class also sets up the builder user's dotfiles appropriately, including SSH configuration, and performs some basic cleanup.
