Fix ssh_keys template 'group cannot be determined' error

[gsaslis]

As discussed on https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/users/issues/64 , I had some trouble using the 'ssh_keys' attribute when using the users cookbook...

When my user.json did NOT include a 'gid' attribute, I was getting an error:

template[/home/giorgos/.ssh/authorized_keys] (/tmp/vagrant-chef-3/chef-solo-1/cookbooks/users/providers/manage.rb line 121) had an error: Chef::Exceptions::GroupIDNotFound: cannot determine group id for 'giorgos', does the group exist on this system?

(https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/users/blob/master/providers/manage.rb#L121)

The template resource was not able to find the group id... So, I tried including a 'gid' attribute, only this time:

==> default: Chef::Exceptions::User
==> default: ----------------------
==> default: user[giorgos] (/tmp/vagrant-chef-3/chef-solo-1/cookbooks/users/providers/manage.rb line 94) had an error: Chef::Exceptions::User: Couldn't lookup integer GID for group name 7000

...leaving me no choice but to change the source code... (This is all on an OpenSUSE 13.1 VM, so it might work on other OS)

indentation should be fixed. sorry about that...

Why this does not merged? how do you solve?

I have the same problem... :/

Error executing action `create` on resource 'template[/home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys]'

@supergrilo sorry for the delayed reply... I basically ended up using my own fork, with the patched code that creates the group using the group resource, before using it... at the moment my commit was very opensuse - specific, however I am happy to give this another go, now that I am (much) more familiar with Chef, if you are still having problems...
