This file take the a password file and generate some output per user.

How do I feed it passwd and shadow files and generate
a file per user with another key => value like password => 'hashkey
from shadow'
along with the key => value then it already generates?


So instead of the current output like

user { "dbbkp":
ensure => "present",
uid => "12346",
gid => "70006",
comment => "DB Backup User - See rsync in cron",
home => "/home/dbbkp",
shell => "/usr/local/bin/bash",
}

I want it to generate an output like this

user { "dbbkp":
ensure => "present",
uid => "12346",
gid => "70006",
shadow => "iaUGiJld2XMKM" # it will get that value from shadow file
comment => "DB Backup User - See rsync in cron",
home => "/home/dbbkp",
shell => "/usr/local/bin/bash",
}

here passwd file entry looks like this

dbbkp:12346:70006B Backup User - See rsync in
cron:/home/dbbkp:/usr/local/bin/bash

and shadow file entry looks like this

dbbkp:iaUGiJld2XMKM:::::::

Thanks for the help
