[root]# /etc/init.d/puppet once -v
{irrelevant output skipped}
err: Could not retrieve configuration: Invalid parameter
''"password"''
for type ''user'' at
/etc/puppet/manifests/classes/serverAdminAuth.pp:42
puppet-0.22.4-1.el5.rf (rpm)
RHEL 5 i386
# snippet from serverAdminAuth.pp
User {
ensure => present,
gid => 105,
provider => useradd,
shell => "/bin/bash",
}
user { root:
name => root,
password =>
''noyoumaynothavemyrootpasswordhash'',
uid => 0,
gid => 0,
home => "/root",
}
#end code
This is from a known good configuration, working on one seemingly
identical puppet server with the same client. All config files were
moved to a new server which when run will no longer set passwords.
libshadow-ruby is installed (hopefully) correctly. Some more useful
debugging information would be most helpful, sadly --debug does not
include anything important to this particular problem.
The RPM I built and installed libshadow-ruby with can be found @
http://home.eng.iastate.edu/~chaos
Thanks for any help.

Check Ruby''s search path for other installs, or make sure your main install is 0.22.4. -- Q. Does Usenet help stamp out ignorance? A. That depends on whether by "stamp out" you mean "eliminate" or "reproduce rapidly in great quantity." -- From the Usenet FAQ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com

You might want to look at the package that I submitted for fedora last night at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240008 nothing really major but it does have a fix for a crash under x86_64.
