The only straightforward (but hackish) way I see to achieve this is
with an Exec
and onlyif (probably wrapped in a define):
define dead_user($username) {
exec { "remove-user-${username}":
onlyif => "/usr/bin/getent passwd ${username} >/dev/null",
command => "/usr/sbin/usermod ... ${username}",
}
}
Another possibility would be to make a fact that returns all of users
on a
system and do something with that--maybe returns a colon-delimited
list and
uses the 'split' function and the 'member' function from stdlib.
