Actually, simpler than that.
Using the stdlib puppet-forge module, I can say
$homedirdir = dirname ( $userhome )
and then
exec { "mkdir-${username}":
command => "/bin/mkdir -p ${homedirdir}",
unless => "test -d ${homedirdir}",
}
When the user resource is created, this combination creates the directory with
the proper permissions.
user { $username:
ensure => present,
home => $userhome,
require => Exec["mkdir-${username}"],
....
}

Objet : [Puppet Users] circular dependency between user/home and parent
directory owned by that user
For illustrating purposes,
I need a david user with home directory /haha/david,
and at the same time, the directory /haha also needs to be owned by david.
this code does not work,
because user requires the /haha directory, and the /haha directory requires the
david user,
so we have a circular dependency,
and it seems that puppet does not know how to handle this.
user {'david':
ensure => present,
home => '/haha/david',
managehome => true
}
file {'/haha':
ensure => directory,
owner => 'david'
}
how to solve this?
