What are the recommended practices for adding regular users with a specific group and password ? I'd like to add new users to a cluster, and also to append an existing ssh key to authorized_keys on all the cluster nodes for some users.
This is the best user add solution I've found so far, but it doesn't quite do everything I want : http://itand.me/using-puppet-to-manage-users-passwords-and-ss I'm looking for a way to do something like: class users { @user { "ajolie": ensure => "present", uid => "1001", group => "1550", comment => "Tomb Raider", home => "/home/ajolie", managehome => true, password => "aaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbccccccccc01010", } @user { "nextuser": ... password => "aaaaaabbbbccccccddddd01", } } Does Puppet handle passwords with something already built-in? If not, is it in future plans? Would love to have one file that has all the user info in it, including encrypted passwords. Played with making a setpasswd script that used a specific encrypted password: ----- #!/bin/bash #setpass.sh: copyfrom=existingusername encpass=`grep $copyfrom /etc/shadow | cut -f 2 -d : ` /usr/sbin/usermod -p "$encpass" $username ------- but then I have to copy that script out to all nodes first.
