alice

should now be created with the appropriate user data.
You can also add a new item to the
users
data bag collection. Let's add a new user called
eve
. Go back to the root
chef-playground
directory and create a new file called
chef-play-
ground/data_bags/users/eve.json
as shown in
Example 13-5
.
Example 13-5. chefdk/chef-playground/data_bags/users/eve.json
{
"id"
:
"eve"
,
"comment"
:
"Eavesdrop"
,
"uid"
:
2002
,
"gid"
:
0
,
"home"
:
"/home/eve"
,
"shell"
:
"/bin/bash"
}
Make sure the root
chef-playground
directory is your current working directory, and run
knife data_bag from file
to add
eve
to the global list of users:
$
knife data_bag from file users eve.json
Updated data_bag_item[users::eve]
Make your
users
recipe the current working directory.
Linux/Mac OS X:
$
cd chef-playground/cookbooks/users
Windows:
>
cd chef-playground\cookbooks\users
Run
kitchen converge
and then
kitchen login
to check to see if the new user account
got created. Make sure you
