[Puppet Users] Creating users and group with same name

Hi,

This is precisely what I am observing.

[root@index11 ~]# puppet resource group logstash ensure=present
notice: /Group[logstash]/ensure: created
group { ''logstash'':
   ensure => ''present'',
}
[root@index11 ~]# puppet resource user logstash ensure=present
err: /User[logstash]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Could 
not create user logstash: Execution of ''/usr/sbin/useradd -M
logstash''
returned 9: useradd: group logstash exists - if you want to add this 
user to that group, use -g.

user { ''logstash'':
   ensure => ''absent'',
}
[root@index11 ~]#

How do I fix this? I want to avoid not using execs. :)

Thanks.

Re: [Puppet Users] Creating users and group with same name

Generally when I see weird errors like this with users/group nscd has
gotten in my way.  Might be worth disabling nscd (and making sure its
really off) then trying this again.

Re: [Puppet Users] Creating users and group with same name

I don''t even have it installed. Thing is, I can add the user by using
"-g".
But, why is puppet not able to do so, that''s what is wondering me.

Re: [Puppet Users] Creating users and group with same name

This appears to be a bug.  I''ve opened a ticket for resolution.
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19090

You can work around it by specifying the group in your user resource.

#puppet resource user logstash ensure=present gid=logstash
