I recently started a consulting company called Abstract IT Pty Ltd. I have transfered ownership of all my puppet modules to a new organisation on Puppet Forge called abstractit. I am making one final release of my modules under rendhalver and abstractit to give you a chance to switch over to the new organisation. I have also added a licence. All my modules will be licenced under Apache v2.
Secure extensible sudo management with puppet.
Manages rules, commands, hosts and runas entries in sudo
what sudo affects:
- /etc/sudoers file
This will manage a basic setup for sudo.
include sudo
Defaults for vars to set if you need them. These are class params so use hiera or and ENC to set them up easily.
$sudo::params::full_fullaccess_group = $::operatingsystem ? { default => 'wheel', Debian => 'adm', Ubuntu => 'admin' }
# group of users with full sudo access
$sudo::params::extra_full_sudo_users = []
# array of extra users with full sudo access except shells and su itself
$sudo::params::requiretty = false
# whether you want a tty to exist for sudo ( I leave this unset because my monitoring setup uses sudo for some of it's commands )
$sudo::params::extra_path = undef
# extra path to include before the default
$sudo::params::extra_shells = undef
# extra shells on the node
$sudo::params::env_reset = true
# If the shell environment should be reset on sudo
$sudo::params::secure_path = '/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin'
# Force the PATH to be this, set to false to stop setting path
sudo::rule { "extra_rule":
ensure => present,
who => 'bob',
runas => 'root', # default runas user is root, please change to override.
commands => "/usr/sbin/systemctl",
nopass => false, #
