Yes but if I am understanding you correctly I can't just let puppet
own the required resources. The directories are created automatically
via PAM config upon initial login. I can't define a user type or a
file type as I don't know the UID.
ssh_authorized_key{ "billys key":
ensure => present,
key => 'billys sshkey',
name => "super duper key",
type => ssh-rsa,
user =>"billy",
onlyif => "test -d /home/${user}"
}
I am assuming that I can refer to the user with ${user} and that
onlyif is a valid parameter.
Does every defined type have onlyif parameter built in?
