Hi all,

Using Puppet 2.5, I have a class which creates users:

# cat modules/users/manifests/init.pp

class users {
  user { 'ringo':
    ensure     => present,
    uid        => '1506',
    groups     => ['admin'],
    shell      => '/bin/bash',
    home       => '/home/ringo',
    managehome => true,
    password =>
'$6$jomSNhWn$AbuCjrUnLgmq5KfGygIcChHxM9Oxodcgv3ngHpbhJdJ4jzbsWt8Aj8aQI6G3WPqFe.mrG42KbD/',
  }
}


And one that creates the group:



# cat modules/groups/manifests/init.pp

class groups {
  group { "admin":
    ensure => present,
  }
}


However, the group "admin" needs to be created before the user can be
part of it.

I have tried adding require => Class['groups'] to the user.  I have
tried using the "before" syntax.  Also tried adding a statement at the
top of the users init.pp, requiring groups.

I can not seem to avoid the error:


err: //users/User[ringo]/ensure: change from absent to present failed:
Could not create user ringo: Execution of '/usr/sbin/useradd -u 1506
-G admin -d /home/ringo -p
$6$jomSNhWn$AbuCjrUnLgmq5KfGygIcChHxM9OxoNczO7gtHqsngHpbhJdJ4jzbsWt8Aj8aQI6G3WPqFe.mrG42KbD/
-s /bin/bash -m ringo' returned 6: useradd: group 'admin' does not
exist

Or some version of a "Found dependency cycles in the following
relationships" type of error.

Any help ensuring that the group dependency is met before users are
created, would be appreciated.
