I haven't used the "allowdupe" option, so I don't know if it works for
GIDs, but supposedly this works:
user { 'user1':
uid => 1000, gid => 2000, ...,
allowdupe => true
}
user { 'user2':
uid => 1001, gid => 2000, ...,
allowdupe => true
}
In YAML-ese, I guess you'd just add
accounts::users:
user1:
allowdupe: 'true'
