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'
}
