I need a facter because each node have different users. The facter
return a list of local users that not are into whitelist (unique).
----------------------------
whitelist = Array.new
File.readlines("/etc/puppet/whitelist").each { |line|
whitelist << line.chomp
}
locals = Array.new
Etc.passwd {|u|
locals << u.name unless u.dir[0,5] != "/
home"
}
ret = locals - whitelist
ret.join(',')
----------------------------
