I read that this doesn''t always work on every OS. However,
I''m on
RHEL, and from what I''m reading the following should correctly set /
etc/shadow:
@user { "myuser":
require => Group[''staff''],
ensure => present,
uid => ''2345'',
gid => ''90'',
shell => ''/bin/bash'',
comment => ''myuser'',
home => ''/home/myuser'',
managehome => true,
password => "$1$BfhBSUJv$ajfjgfhdskdgfljkfdglkjfdlkfd.",
#
fake hash for this post
}
It creates the user and dependency, but doesn''t touch /etc/shadow.
I need to be able to set this hash with the virtual user for the
systems we manage. Is there some workaround for this, or is my
syntax incorrect?

Hi, Most likely you need to have ruby-shadow installed on the client.
