Puppet users - Nov 2009 - SLES 10 client keeps removing and re-adding accounts to groups

SLES 10 clients keeps removing and re-adding accounts to groups.
Can''t use this product in production as a result, I''d like to
use it
though.
Using clients  25.1 with master 25.1

This keeps re-occuring with every single puppet client run:
Nov 24 09:57:09 puppetd[26915]: (//unixuser/User[jdoe]/groups) groups
changed ''wheel'' to ''unixadm,wheel''
Nov 24 09:57:09 shadow[27044]: account removed from group -
account=jdoe, group=wheel, gid=10, by=0
Nov 24 09:57:09 shadow[27044]: account removed from group -
account=jdoe, group=video, gid=33, by=0
Nov 24 09:57:09 shadow[27044]: account removed from group -
account=jdoe, group=dialout, gid=16, by=0
Nov 24 09:57:09 shadow[27044]: account added to group - account=jdoe,
group=dialout, gid=16, by=0
Nov 24 09:57:09 shadow[27044]: account added to group - account=jdoe,
group=video, gid=33, by=0
Nov 24 09:57:09 shadow[27044]: account added to group - account=jdoe,
group=wheel, gid=10, by=0

I saw a previous post with similar issue with no solution here:
http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/63204f14d25a1cdf/25ce2c2326e4e40b?hl=en&q=eaiadmin#25ce2c2326e4e40b

any ideas anyone?

 Can you post the code that is causing this issue?

Also, are you familiar with the ralsh utility? You can verify how the user
provider on SUSE works from the command line.

#get current properties for jdoe
>ralsh user jdoe
#create joe if required
>ralsh user jdoe ensure=present
#create a new user group
>ralsh group testgroup ensure=present
#add group to user
>ralsh user jdoe groups=testgroup
regards,

-Dan

Using ralsh led me in the right direction, thanks.
SLES (SuSE) complains about this and RHEL does not.

If I use  '' gid => 100''  (which points to group unix) and
include that same group in the ''groups =>
[''staff'',''unix''] '' list,
then SLES complains and acts funny.

Removing the group ''unix'' from the ''groups
=>'', stops the complaining
in SLES.

before:
user { ''joed'':
    shell => ''/bin/bash'',
    uid => ''1000'',
    groups => [''group'',''unix''],
    gid => ''100'',
    ensure => ''present''

 }

after:
user { ''joed'':
    shell => ''/bin/bash'',
    uid => ''1000'',
    groups => [''group''],
    gid => ''100'',
    ensure => ''present''

 }
