Thanks for the suggestions. ALthought it might be nice, I don't really
care about keeping the UID consistent, but they should be system UIDs
(<500).
We have several boxes with zabbix installed via distro rpms and others
that are running old distros that do not have up-to-date rpms. For
both types I want puppet update to or install an in-house compiled
zabbix-agentd package. It seems that fixing the current UIDs by hand
would work.
I kept thinking of this little problem last night after I submitted
the original post. I thought a custom fact might work and came up
with this little snippit.
# <MODULEPATH>/zabbix_agentd/lib/facter
Facter.add(:zabbix_user)
do
confine :kernel
=> :linux
setcode
do
%x{grep zabbix /etc/passwd |cut -f1 -
d:}.chomp
end
end
Then in the manifest
if $zabbix_user != "zabbix" {
user
{ "zabbix":
name => 'zabbix',
.....
}
}
This worked in the tests I ran.
Thanks again for your feedback
Don
