Issue #4201 has been updated by Markus Roberts. Status changed from Investigating to Needs more information Assigned to changed from Markus Roberts to James Turnbull
Can a non-root user see useradd on that box? The only way I can reproduce these test failures is to hide the executables. If that's what's going on, the core problem is that these are bad unit tests and ought to be mocking/stubbing the executable probing, rather tan doing it for real. ---------------------------------------- Bug #4201: No default user / group provider for non-root linux users. http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4201 Author: James Turnbull Status: Needs more information Priority: Low Assigned to: James Turnbull Category: testing Target version: 2.6.0 Affected version: 2.6alpha1 Keywords: Branch: A large number of spec and unit tests fail when run as a non-root user under Fedora 12 (though they appear to work under, say Ubuntu 10) because puppet can not find a default provider (e.g. useradd) when run as non-root. This may be a provider detection problem or it may be a test confinement problem. ------------------------- The following failed on Fedora 12 when run as a non-root user - they all PASS when run as root.
