Hi

I am getting error when i try to add system user including fields mentioned in system_user.pp, if I manually mention all the fields in init.pp, it just works fine.

[root@server accounts]# pwd
/etc/puppet/modules/accounts
[root@server accounts]# tree
.
`-- manifests
    |-- init.pp
    `-- system_users.pp

1 directory, 2 files


init.pp

class accounts {
   @accounts::system { 'demo':
       comment => 'demo users',
       password => 'fndjsafjdashbjfsdhj',
   }
}

system_users.pp

define accounts::system ($comment,$password){
user { $title:
       ensure => 'present',
       shell => '/bin/bash',
       managehome => true,
       comment => $comment,
       password => $password,
     }
}

Hi Jyotir,

The filename and the defined type names need to be the same, you can either rename the define to accounts::system_users or rename the file to system.pp
