Issue #3748 has been updated by Markus Roberts. Status changed from Needs more information to Accepted Assigned to set to Matt Robinson Target version set to 0.25.6
Matt -- This one would be a good one for you to start on, and possibly pair with Jesse. The cause is that we're modeling the groups as Puppet::Property::List (which appears to care about order) and we really want a Puppet::Property::Set (which doesn't). Interestingly, there is a Puppet::Property::OrderedList (which we aren't using) but there isn't a Puppet::Property::Set. Places to explore: <pre> lib/puppet/type/user.rb lib/puppet/property/list.rb lib/puppet/property/ordered_list.rb lib/puppet/type/user/ldap.rb </pre> -- Markus ---------------------------------------- Bug #3748: group membership problem http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3748 Author: John Florian Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assigned to: Matt Robinson Category: user Target version: 0.25.6 Affected version: 0.25.4 Keywords: Branch: My user accounts are kept in LDAP. On one puppet-managed host, I want to make some of those LDAP-based users members of a host-local group. I gave the following a shot: <pre> user { "tom": groups => "somegroup", } user { "dick": groups => "somegroup", } user { "harry": groups => "somegroup", } </pre> Now when I run this the first time, it did just exactly what I wanted by adding these users to the group in /etc/group. However, every time puppet runs again, it tries to repeat the process. I think this is because when it tests the current group membership, the groups are listed in a different order -- even though the current set and the desired set are identical. For example, on successive runs I see the following logged: <pre> notice: //mymodule/User[tom]/groups: groups changed 'wheel,somegroup,wheel,admin' to 'admin,somegroup,pooch,wheel' </pre> I suppose the fault may not be the ordering, but instead with the fact that 'wheel' appears twice in the current membership. I dunno, but it keeps the logs really busy with these false changes. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
