NAME

Provision::Unix::User::FreeBSD - provision user accounts on FreeBSD systems

VERSION

version 1.05

SYNOPSIS

Handles provisioning operations (create, modify, destroy) for system users on UNIX based operating systems.

    use Provision::Unix::User::FreeBSD;

    my $user_fbsd = Provision::Unix::User::FreeBSD->new();
    ...

archive

Create's a tarball of the users home directory. Typically done right before you rm -rf their home directory as part of a de-provisioning step.

    if ( $prov->user_archive("user") ) 
    {
        print "user archived";
    };

returns a boolean.

FUNCTIONS

verify_master_passwd

Verify that new master.passwd is the right size. I found this necessary on some versions of FreeBSD as a race condition would cause the master.passwd file to get corrupted. Now I verify that after I'm finished making my changes, the new file is a small amount larger (or smaller) than the original.
