Description

ssh::auth bizarrely defaults to /home/$user rather than looking up the user’s home. This leads to strange situations where /home/root cannot be found.

That would be a bad default on many platforms; thanks for the bug report.

What module is this for?

Here, iirc: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Module_Ssh_Auth_Patterns

“ssh::auth is currently in an unstable release. Please test it, and report bugs and feature requests on the Puppet users mailing list. Based on the results of people’s testing, the interface may change for the first stable release.”

I’m sorry, I’m going to close this. This isn’t a module that we’re giving any support to. FWIW, there are lots of other Forge modules on ssh: http://forge.puppetlabs.com/modules?q=ssh&commit=Go

There’s a recent addition that may help you setup authorized keys too: http://forge.puppetlabs.com/mthibaut/mutual_trust
