Bug #1911: puppet 0.24.7 fails to read/set users/groups on mac 10.4
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/1911

Author: pjjw
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Urgent
Assigned to: 
Category: OSX
Target version: 
Complexity: Unknown
Affected version: 0.24.7
Keywords: dscl,plist,tiger,mac


Looks like the directoryservice provider has been changed about to use the 
-plist flag when calling dscl, but this flag is not supported on 10.4 and 
results in nothing happening.

This is what I'm getting. I've attached a debug run from a client as well as 
facter output, and you can see that it's trying to call /usr/bin/dscl -plist. 
The code difference between 0.24.7 and 0.24.6 seems to support the idea that 
non-plist output from dscl isn't supported anymore.

This seems like a really really huge problem for someone to have just missed 
before putting out a major release - user and group management simply doesn't 
work anymore on any machine that isn't on Leopard - so I'm hoping I'm just 
missing something here.
