similar to: Problem in Setting User Password

Hello, I have a CentOS 6.0 Virtualbox VM to package as a Vagrant box for testing Puppet manifests. The problem i''m having is with the user resource type not working with CentOS. I keep having an error message when setting the password for a user. Provider useradd does not support features manages_passwords; not managing attribute password I have both ruby-shadow and shadow-utils

[root]# /etc/init.d/puppet once -v {irrelevant output skipped} err: Could not retrieve configuration: Invalid parameter ''"password"'' for type ''user'' at /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/serverAdminAuth.pp:42 puppet-0.22.4-1.el5.rf (rpm) RHEL 5 i386 # snippet from serverAdminAuth.pp User { ensure => present,

When I run puppet I see: "Provider useradd does not support features manages_passwords; not managing attribute password" [root@hostname local]# yum list installed | grep ruby-shadow ruby-shadow.x86_64 1.4.1-13.el6 @epel [root@hostname local]# ruby -rpuppet -e ''puts Puppet.features.libshadow?'' true [root@hostname local]#

Hi, In my workflow I am using several separate xservers. One for work, another for research and so on. Each of them has a separate user account, and they all belong to the same (main) group called janek. I've been using nvidia for years, but about 2 years ago some super annoying bug appeared in nvidia, namely that switching between virtual terminals sporadically causes nvidia_modeset to

I was using Puppet 0.24.8 and now upgrade the puppet server and client both to 0.25.4 (on 1 machine i.e. server and client), but i am facing some problems. While testing, some of the configs which were/are running fine on older version generates error here; for instance, i have defined the FileSource path in ''/etc/puppet/fileserver.conf'' [myFileSrc] path

Hello members, We are using Puppet-Server 0.24.8 with Factor (1.5.2-1.20) and Puppet 0.24.5 (for client nodes) on our SuSE Machines and its working fine. We are now planning to upgrade to latest stable release 0.25.* for server (with factor) and client-nodes. We just like to enquire you if there is a package/rpm available for SLES 11? If yes, please share with us? Thanks -- M. Haris

Hi! I''m trying to set password for a user. I do the following: user { "username": password => ''*'', } And when I run puppet agent nothing happens. The password remains the same. But if I create a new user which doesn''t exist yet, the password is set without any problems. Is this a normal behaviour of ''user'' type? --

I thought I''d put this out there for anyone to save anyone who''s running 0.22.4 on AMD64 hosts a whole world of hurt. Basically, the libshadow-ruby1.8 package that Puppet (as of 0.22.4) relies on is broken for AMD64 in both Debian (Sarge+) and Ubuntu (all releases). The problem is basically just some non-portable code. I''ve reported the bug into Debian with a patch, so

Hi, is it possible to use the service resource type with a specific user ? So that the service is started with that given user instead of the puppet user starting it...

So I have been trying to run puppet once in my kickstart %post scripts but every time it detaches and daemonizes even though I have explicitly stated otherwise. Am I missing something? # rpm -q puppet puppet-0.24.8-1 # /usr/sbin/puppetd --onetime --no-daemonize --verbose --debug debug: Creating default schedules debug: Failed to load library ''shadow'' for feature

Hi how do I tell with user type to use userdel with -r short of using exec type? i have a user account called `foo'' so i created a test puppet file local to the system called test.pp # cat test.pp user {"foo": ensure => absent, managehome => true, } when I apply it on solaris or linux the userdel does not use the `-r'' switch

Hello, I use puppet with RHEL and there are some packages that aren''t in up2date/yum repositories. I need a way to get these specific RPMs installed. There''s a blog posting that describes an almost-perfect way to do it: http://www.raskas.be/blog/2007/09/10/managing-user-passwords-with-puppet-on-centos/ The only problem with his example is that the RPM will always in the /tmp

I see in the changelog that: You now must specify an environment and you are required to specify the valid environments for your site. (#911) Does this mean that the puppetmaster has to be updated before clients work correctly? I ask because I''m testing out a client upgrade to 0.24.0 (server is still 0.23.2) and this is what I''m seeing: [~]% sudo /foo/bin/puppetd

Hi all: I'm running Caldera OpenLinux with kernel 2.0.29, shadow password and quotas. The shadow kit is 980403 and is working fine.

We have a policy that requires all user passwords to expire after 90 days. We also use puppet for managing all users on our machines. Our hope was, when our passwords expire, we could update the puppet manifest which would propogate to all our servers, thus updating all our passwords. The problem is, the User type (w/ manage_passwords enabled and ruby- shadow installed) will only set the

I have this config: # BL00070 - Disable NFS service {["nfs","nfslock","netfs","portmap"]: ensure => stopped, enable => false, } user {"rpc": ensure => absent, provider => "useradd" } user {"rpcuser": ensure => absent, provider => "useradd" } file

Hi Janek, A few things... First off, you're not using the nouveau ddx, you're using the modesetting ddx. This isn't a problem in itself, but if you're going to report bugs, you should file them against the proper component. Secondly, I'm a bit unclear as to what your setup is. A single X server takes over a whole GPU. Recently "leasing" has been introduced which
