Ok, I found both the explanation of why this is not creating users in our env, and I guess a good workaround to this situation. In our env, virtual users are not realized directly, they are realized through a "define ssh_user" that manages authorized_keys and assigns them to wheel. That layer of indirection _is_ in Puppet's state, but it means that the virtual user does not have the membership set in the "virtual" definition. At some point of the discussion I also lost sight of the conditionality of the materialization (will only materialize /matching/ resources) and I was temporarily a bit more anxious than I should have been. This is a relief. I still consider resource collectors dangerous, but usable in clearly defined situations. m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first ~ http://docs.moodle.org/en/User:Martin_Langhoff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
