We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their

modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

Documentation

carlasouza/userskel — version 0.0.1 Oct 10th 2014

userskel

Manage the skeleton used by useradd for user creation.

It already comes with default content for .bashrc, .bash_logout, .gemrc, .gitignore_global and .profile files inside files/default/ directory of this module.

Modify, remove or add more files at files/default as desired, or create new collections by creating a subfolder at files/. It will look for files/$name as skel source. If non existent, the default directory will be used as source.

Examples

Prevent any created user to ssh to your server

userskel { 'server':
  shell             => '/bin/nologin',
  create_mail_spool => 'yes'
}

Change the default shell to zsh

userskel { 'desktop':
  shell => '/bin/zsh',
  group => '1001'
}
