hope thus comes under the remit of this mailking list...
We use puppet, and Im trying to come up with "code" that will create two user accounts with a shared groiup ID eg user1 with UID 1000user 2 with UID 1001 but I would like them BOTH to share the GID of 2000 I've tried the following accounts::groups: jointgroup: gid: '2000' accounts::users: user1: uid: '1000' gid: '2000' home: '/home/user1' shell: '/bin/bash' password: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' user2: uid: '1001' gid: '200' home: '/home/user2' shell: '/bin/bash' password: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' But when I trfy and use this puppet agent -tv complains when trying to create user2 that GID 2000 is slready used .
how may I manage this? (Obvs I could have all users with their own GID and add users to a seperate group m... but this is just tidier to my mind? cheersdidds
