Issue #219 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.

Status changed from Ready for Testing to Rejected

In the absence of any evidence of systems where you can't lock an account by 
setting the password hash to a special character, I'm closing this. (I've used 
this functionality on a lot of *nixes)


As per the below thread, we're more aggressively closing tickets whose state is 
unsure.
You are free to reopen them.

----------------------------------------
Feature #219: user type could be used to lock account
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/219

Author: Redmine Admin
Status: Rejected
Priority: Low
Assignee: 
Category: user
Target version: unplanned
Patch: None
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: communitypatch
Branch: 


User type could easely add locking capability by using:

ensure => locked

This will password lock the account and synonym for present+lock. This kind of 
users could only login with sshkey or other non-password means and be sure that 
it is enforced that way.

This is enforced by 

passwd -l  login  ( on debian at least)
pw user mod -h - -n login  ( on freebsd )



regards,
Ghislain.
