Puppet users - Jul 2009 - user provider on FreeBSD and manages_passwords, again.

Hi,

i would like to use the user provider on freebsd to manage passwords.
This isn''t implemented at the moment as Luke said in Message-Id:
<5FE94839-099E-43A6-A2A6-411224D9B531@madstop.com>.

If you run pw with -h $fd or -H $fd you can provide a password via the
file descriptor with nunber $fd (already encrypted in the latter case).
I never read ruby till yesterday, but it looks like the actual command
is run somewhere far away from the pw.rb (nameservice.rb ?) using
execute which does not take strings to pass as stdin ATM. One could
do sth. like cmd = echo $passwd | $cmd or supply the password in a file
(which execute can pass to stdin). Latter would need more than rewrites
in the user provider right ?

Perhaps someone else with ruby knowledge also needs this and i would be
happy if i can help somehow.

cheers,
Leon
