Bug #1360: Fix for #1207 breaks allowdupe for groups
http://reductivelabs.com/redmine/issues/show/1360

Author: nwp

Complexity: Trivial
Patch: None
Affected version: 0.24.4


Take all the following as applying to systems with usermod/groupmod behaving as 
mentioned for Solaris in #1207 (Debian behaves this way too, at least -- I 
suspect other Linuxes do too).

The fix for ticket #1207 has broken allowdupe for groups.

-o must be specified when and only when:

* you are using usermod to modify a user, and are specifying a UID
* you are using groupmod to modify a group, and are specifying a GID

I think this means that the individual useradd and groupadd providers should 
override the modifycmd method provided by provider/nameservice/objectadd.rb - 
unless you want to hack that method to identify what it's being inherited by 
(ugh!).

I suspect (although I'm not about to check) that specifying allowdupe as 
follows:

<pre>
user { "nwp":
  ensure => present,
  allowdupe => true,
}

</pre>

(or similarly for a group) without specifying an id will also break, as it will 
be specifying "-o" without specifying a UID/GID for the object being modified.


Cheers,


Nick
