[Puppet Users] User/managehome with useradd provider on CentOS
Hi,
When you set managehome to false on a User ressource, homedir will
still be created on a CentOS box as the -M flag is not passed to
useradd.
$ diff -u /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/user/
useradd.rb.bak \
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/user/useradd.rb

These are source files from the EPEL 0.24.7 package. I cannot report
this (minor) bug through Redmine as the system just won''t let me
register... Hope it helps.

Is there a way to pass parameters to rpm with the package type? I have some rpms that need to be installed with --nodeps Thanks, Steven --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

It sounds like broken packages (which often come from proprietary vendors that don''t know how to package properly :). There are probably better ways to handle this sort of breakage. For example, create dummy packages that "provide" the dependencies. Of course, I''m just guessing at what you really need to do, so I could be way off. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Erotic is when you use a feather, kinky is when you use the whole chicken. -- C. Haynes.
The packages are ok (straight CentOS 4), but the OS is our own dialect (modified from CentOS 4). So, I end up with some packages that depend on others only to create a directory or a config file that puppet will be doing anyways. I don''t want to install the dependence because it installs other stuff that I don''t want or need and might interfere with our custom OS. I was hoping not to have to create a either a modified rpm or a dummy one. So far, it sound like creating a dummy package or modifying the puppet rpm provider are my best choices.

It is good practice generally, not just for puppet; it keeps your package database consistent and healthy *and* (very importantly) it documents your intent. If you just force --no-deps, how will you (or somebody filling in while you are ill, on holiday, under a bus etc.) know which broken dependencies on a system are evidence of error and breakage and which are deliberate policy? -- Bruce I unfortunately do not know how to turn cheese into gold. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
