Hello,
I would like to know what's the best way to manage user accounts with cfengine
3.
I think I will have to manage around 30 users.
For now I foresee 2 ways :
. 1st method : we use a 2 dimension array such as :
"shell" string => "/usr/bin/ksh";
"users" string => "Santa Claus";
"users" string => "2412";
"users" string => "myteam";
"users" string => "/home/santa";
"users" string => "$(shell)";
"users" string => "dk9999999999999";
And we use useradd commands with a method promise.
. 2nd method : using provisioning files i.e. with /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow
format. These files would be templates.
Do you have any better way for provisioning users, I mean add/delete/change
password ?
Thank you.
