TSD chef tutorial

TASK 1:

1. Create group named: 'tsd'
   • set grup id number to '1234'
2. Create user named: 'tsd'
   • set user id number to '1234'
   • assign user to tsd grup
   • set user's default shell to '/bin/bash'
   • set user's password to 'admin'
   • set users home directory to '/home/tsd' (check manage_home property of user resource)
3. Create file named 'tsd-testfile' in tsd's home directory
   • set file permisions, so that:
     • owner can read, write and execute
     • group can read and execute
     • others can only read
4. Using 'kitchen login' login to VM and verify if your changes applied
   • you can switch user to root or newly created tsd to have access to the tsd's home directory (sudo su - root/tsd)

TASK 2:

1. Create 10 files in tsd's home directory
   • name them file1 to file10
   • use ruby to simplify this process (each method might come in handy)
2. Login to VM and remove files from file1 to file9, modify contents of file10.
3. Provision the system once again.
   • What did chef do?
