You also could do this by having your directory structure on your
fileserver, of src/path/my
Then file { "/home/jeff/src":
mode => 0755,
owner => jeff,
group => jeff,
ensure => directory,
recurse => true;
}
If that directory structure is to be common across multiple users, it
can save you some typing in the long run, if you set up a custom
definition so that you can substitute $name everywhere there is a
jeff... just a thought...
