Droid Module: user

Create Unix user accounts and enable SSH key authentication. For more information on Droid, please see droidphp.com.

The steps involved are:-

1. Add a standard Unix user account.
2. Create a .ssh directory and authorized_keys file with recommended access modes.
3. Append ssh public key data to the authorized_keys file.

Assumptions

1. The platform is Debian-based.

Limitations

1. The user is created using the adduser command with the user argument and zero options.

Information required by the module

1. A list of one or more users to create, as follows:-

    mod_droid_user_users:
      -
        username: <string>
        homedir: <string> # path to the user's home directory (see note below)
        pubkey: <string> # SSH public key file content (or an @path to a
                         # public key file)
   

   Note that the homedir field doesn't currently affect where the user's home is created and so should be set to the usual debian-style home for the user.

Optional information

None.
