Udo,
By default, users are added to the groups specified by the "groups"
parameter in *addition* to any groups they may already be a part of.
See the "membership" parameter under
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#id229
>From an ideological perspective, though, you should probably *be*
specifying those users and their full group membership in Puppet.
