Forum: Cfengine Help Subject: Managing user accounts with Cfengine 3 Author: kenneho Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,20993,20993#msg-20993
Greetings everyone, I'd like cfengine to manage some system user accounts on my RHEL servers, and have come across a couple of suggestion on how to accomplish this: * https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,9181,9440#msg-9440 * http://www.cfengine.org/manuals/cf3-solutions.html#Add-users-to-passwd-and-group Both methods seem to require that I create colon separated strings, which are inserted into the /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow as needed. Is this the way people are managing their users? Seems like a function "create_user(uid, gid, home, shell, etc)" would be a more neat way of doing this sort of thing. - Kenneth _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
