Moses Mendoza commented on PUP-7486   Re: useradd provider silently does not set password H Alan Smith - thanks for filing. Yeah I'm not sure that's an optimal user experience. If you run puppet with `--debug`, you should get something like this in the output: Debug: /User[bob]: Provider useradd does not support features manages_passwords; not managing attribute password But folks probably don't run in debug by default. One difficulty is the underlying features system that puppet uses to check if a managed host has the correct attributes to manage specific properties is prolific throughout the providers.. so if we changed the default log level to warning instead of debug for these checks we'd likely heavily spam many users logs on every run. Maybe if you could opt in to making this a warning instead of debug? i.e., `puppet config set missing_features warning` Not sure. Nicholas Fagerlund thoughts?
