I would like to creating new users on a system and assign them default passwords that are set only upon creation. I can create the users and assign default passwords with the "user" type, but puppet will continue to reset the password back to that default value even after users modify their own. I guess I could handle this with an "exec" that sets passwords only if the user exists but has never logged in or something. Any other solution? It would be helpful if the "user" type had a new attribute called "defaultpassword" or "initialpassword". --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hi> It would be helpful if the "user" type had a new attribute called > "defaultpassword" or "initialpassword".or a boolean option ''reset'' or ''resetpassword'' default to true. Like the replace option for the file type. That would definitely be interesting. greets pete --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

It might actually make sense to even have a metaparameter that generalized this -- something like ''noreplace => password''. If the property is absent, then it gets set, but otherwise, it gets ignored. This would be able to replace the file''s ''replace'' parameter -- it would be equivalent to ''noreplace => content''.
