Table of Contents

Module Description

This module ensures the oddjobd package is installed, service is running and configures oddjob-mkhomedir.

See REFERENCE.md for API details.

Setup

What oddjob affects

This module will ensure oddjob is installed and the service is running. Additionally, it will use a custom template to create the mkhomedir oddjob enforcing umask.

Setup Requirements

simp/oddjob requires simp/simplib if using the mkhomedir class.

Beginning with oddjob

include 'oddjob'

Usage

I want to set default user umask for home directories

include 'oddjob'
include 'oddjob::mkhomedir'

With Hieradata:

oddjob::mkhomedir::umask: '0077'

Limitations

SIMP Puppet modules are generally intended to be used on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux-compatible distribution.

Development

Please read our Contribution Guide.

If you find any issues, they can be submitted to our JIRA.

Acceptance tests

To run the system tests, you need Vagrant installed.

You can then run the following to execute the acceptance tests:

   bundle exec rake beaker:suites

Some environment variables may be useful:

   BEAKER_debug=true
   BEAKER_provision=no
   BEAKER_destroy=no
   BEAKER_use_fixtures_dir_for_modules=yes
  • BEAKER_debug: show the commands being run on the STU and their output.
  • BEAKER_destroy=no: prevent the machine destruction after the tests finish so you can inspect the state.
  • BEAKER_provision=no: prevent the machine from being recreated. This can save a lot of time while you're writing the tests.
  • BEAKER_use_fixtures_dir_for_modules=yes: cause all module dependencies to be loaded from the spec/fixtures/modules directory, based on the contents of .fixtures.yml. The contents of this directory are usually populated by bundle exec rake spec_prep. This can be used to run acceptance tests to run on isolated networks.
