I don't think you can add new properties or parameters to an existing type. Not easily anyway. What I would recommend, is creating a defined type/resource instead that creates users - and add your functionality into that. You then have a nice wrapper that you can customize. More or less defined types work like ruby types anyway, and avoid a lot of code hassles that are probably not required in your case: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/definedtypes.html ... unless you have a reason for needing a proper Ruby type? ken. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
