EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

29   account($name, %option)
30       Manage user account.
31
32        account "krimdomu",
33          ensure         => "present",  # default
34          uid            => 509,
35          home           => '/root',
36          comment        => 'User Account',
37          expire         => '2011-05-30',
38          groups         => [ 'root', '...' ],
39          login_class    => 'staff',   # on OpenBSD
40          password       => 'blahblah',
41          crypt_password => '*', # on Linux, OpenBSD and NetBSD
42          system         => 1,
43          create_home    => TRUE,
44          shell          => '/bin/bash',
45          ssh_key        => "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQChUw...";
46
47       There is also a no_create_home option similar to create_home but doing
48       the opposite. If both used, create_home takes precedence as it the
49       preferred option to specify home directory creation policy.
50
51       If none of them are specified, Rex follows the remote system's home
52       creation policy.
53
54       The crypt_password option specifies the encrypted value as found in
55       /etc/shadow; on Linux special values are '*' and '!' which mean
56       'disabled password' and 'disabled login' respectively.
57
58   create_user($user => {})
59       Create or update a user.
60

62

65           parameters are passed to it.
66
67       after
68           This gets executed after the user is created. All original
