4.3 quality score

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
code and documentation and
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.

Overview

A one-maybe-two sentence summary of what the module does/what problem it solves. This is your 30 second elevator pitch for your module. Consider including OS/Puppet version it works with.

Module Description

/etc/default/useradd and login.defs management

Setup

What shadow affects

  • manages package containing /etc/default/useradd
  • /etc/default/useradd itself

Setup Requirements

This module requires pluginsync enabled

Beginning with shadow

The very basic steps needed for a user to get the module up and running.

If your most recent release breaks compatibility or requires particular steps for upgrading, you may wish to include an additional section here: Upgrading (For an example, see http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/firewall).

Usage

Put the classes, types, and resources for customizing, configuring, and doing the fancy stuff with your module here.

shadow::useradd

  • group: The group name or ID for a new user's initial group (when the -N/--no-user-group is used or when the USERGROUPS_ENAB variable is set to no in /etc/login.defs). The named group must exist, and a numerical group ID must have an existing entry (default: 100)
  • home: The default base directory for the system if no homedir (-d) is specified. home is concatenated with the account name to define the home directory. (default: /home)
  • inactive: The number of days after a password expires until the account is permanently disabled. A value of 0 disables the account as soon as the password has expired, and a value of -1 disables the feature (default: -1)
  • expire: The date on which the user account will be disabled. The date is specified in the format YYYY-MM-DD (default: undef)
  • shell: The name of the user's login shell (default: /sbin/nologin)
  • skel: The skeleton directory, which contains files and directories to be copied in the user's home directory, when the home directory is created by useradd. (default: /etc/skel)

Limitations

This is where you list OS compatibility, version compatibility, etc.

Development

We are pushing to have acceptance testing in place, so any new feature should have some test to check both presence and absence of any feature
