Quick look through your policy. It seemed to be fine, nothing was wrong but cfengine itself. I spotted a weird behaviour of agent normal ordering. It should be commands: then files:, not the other way around. http://www.cfengine.org/manuals/cf3-reference.html#Agent-normal-ordering That would explain why there was no match by set_user_field() as there was a line rob:.* (rob:.* would be create by useradd I assumed.) I can report to this issue to cfengine developers if you'd like. To make your coding work wonderfully, I suggested using classes to help you out. At least, we could create our own workflow to run a command then to edit the file. commands: linux:: "/usr/sbin/useradd $($(user)[$(index)]) -u $($(user)[$(index)]) -d $($(user)[$(index)]) -s $($(user)[$(index)]) -c '$($(user)[$(index)])' $(index)" ifvarclass => "add_$(index)", classes => if_repaired("set_passwd_for_$(index)"); files: # This is not conditioned to the add_* classes to always check # and reset the passwords if needed. linux:: "/etc/shadow" comment => "Setting the password...", edit_line => set_user_field("$(index)",2,"$($(user)[$(index)])"), ifvarclass => "set_passwd_for_$(index)"; Please correct me, if I was wrong.
