[chef] Re: RE: Re: Creating local users

[Tobias Unsleber < >]

Hi Mohammad,

I suggest you add a default_attribute -  a table - in the
different roles for the user that should be created on
machines that these roles are assigned.

And for every machine you should check for every one
of the users in the data bag if this user is in special
role assigned attribute too.

Regards,
Tobias
