Hey Dan,
The error you're getting is just saying that you've declared the
Base::Systemusers class twice and a class can only be declared once. I
suspect that your code looks something like this:
$systemusers = lookup({ name => 'base::systemusers' })
$systemusers.each |$username, $userinfo| {
class { 'base::systemusers':
username => $username,
}
}
If that is the case then you should be able to fix the problem by
changing Base::Systemusers from a class to a define. Defined types can be
declared multiple times as long as each one has a unique title. You can
find more information about defined types here:
https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/6.4/lang_defined_types.html
The syntax to declare the defined type would change slightly. It should
look like this:
base::systemusers { $username: }
Let me know if you have any questions (or if I guess incorrectly about
what your code looks like).
