Issue #791 has been updated by Craig Box.
Status changed from Closed to Re-opened
Target version changed from 0.24.6 to unplanned
I am seeing this problem on 0.25 (0.25.4-2ubuntu6) with LDAP users:
* install libnss-ldapd, libpam-ldapd and nslcd
* install ldap-auth-config & various config files
* run auth-client-config, which sets up the PAM config files to include LDAP
users (1)
* create homedirs for LDAP user
causes error output:
err: //homedirs/Homedirectory[example]/File[/home/example]/ensure: change
from absent to directory failed: Could not set directory on ensure: Could not
find user example at /etc/puppet/modules/homedirs/manifests/init.pp:37
even though at point (1), if run manually, I can 'su' to the user successfully.

Bug #791: Users and groups created mid-transaction are not found

I recently noticed the following:
<pre>
Aug 23 18:09:35 extdns03 puppetdr987: [ID 702911 daemon.error]
(//extdns03/common_foglight/foglight_agents_setup/Exec[/opt/foglight/script/setup.sh])
Failed to call refresh on Exec[/opt/foglight/script/setup.sh]: Invalid user:
foglight
</pre>
While I'm reasonably sure that the user did exist at that point. So after long
and painful debugging I did the following:
<pre>
extdns01# RUBYLIB=. irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'puppet'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Puppet::Util.uid('boom')
=> nil
[ Now, in a different window, ran "adduser boom" ]
irb(main):003:0> Puppet::Util.uid('boom')
=> nil
irb(main):004:0>
</pre>
I guess puppet should flush the uid/gid cache on any user/group operation, or
possibly even every time.
