Thanks very much for the help. Unfortunately, I'm learning, and working, in an environment with several hundred machines in production using puppet. I can't really expect to upgrade or reconfigure the environment. All I'm trying to do is ensure some ssh files exist in a particular user's home directory, so I thought I would use $facts to determine if the user exists, and get their home directory path, and create the files in there. Is there a way to parse the $os string into a hash, so I can access its members? (Besides wanting to access users' home directories, it would also be useful to just get the OS major number, for a different purpose.) I tried parsejson(), but it doesn't like the => instead of :, and it didn't seem right to substitute : for =>. I figured there *should* be a way to parse the string the right way. If not via $facts, how else would puppet put some files into a user's home directory? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
