[Puppet Users] FreeBSD pw user provider password management
Hi all,
Can someone tell me what is the reason for the pw user provider not
supporting the password parameter? As far as I know one can pipe an
encrypted password string to pw and it will set it as expected.
As a workaround I''m using an exec to achieve this functionality:
define users::freebsd_user($gid, $uid, $comment, $password, $shell) {
user { $name:
ensure => present,
comment => $comment,
gid => $gid,
uid => $uid,
password => $password,
shell => $shell,
notify => Exec["passwd_$name"];
}
exec { "passwd_$name":
path => "/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin",
command => "echo ''$password'' |
/usr/sbin/pw usermod $name -H 0",
refreshonly => "true";
}
}
However it would be cleaner if the built-in type supported this. Is
there a technical reason why this wasn''t done?
Cheers,
Andrew.

Unfortunately this issue is talking about the useradd provider and I was asking about pw (which is the only option on FreeBSD). As far as I can tell the pw provider for the user type doesn''t support the password management feature at the moment and I was wandering why. Is it because of a technical issue or it just hasn''t been done yet?
