Users with different passwords on each host

[Jamie]

Say I have 50 user accounts that must exist on 3 hosts, each with different passwords (3 hosts, 50 users, 150 passwords).  Is it possible to do this without defining each user 3 times?

Thank you

Maybe something like this?

----------------------------------------
class users {

user { 'cwood':
password => $fqdn ? {
'host1' => 'password1',
'host2' => 'password2',
},
}

}

include users
----------------------------------------

If you use a scripted generator to pop out the manifest from predefined lists of users and hosts that will be easier on you.

But now I'm really, really curious about why you're configuring the opposite of centralized authentication. What criteria are you attempting to fit into?

Ahh! That might work for me, thanks! You're wondering why I don't
use LDAP or other centralized authentication? I'm not familiar with
it, I don't know whether it has the ability to do what I want, and I'd
have to convice my CTO, who doesn't experience my issues directly that
it's better than me having to maintain a bunch of code.

:\ I'll let you know if it works, thanks again.
