Adam Bottchen commented on PUP-1913   Re: Puppet user resource should respect the forcelocal option Karthikeyan Kanagaraj The resource you outlined: user { 'oracle': ensure => present, uid => '100000', gid => '1002', groups => 'dba', expiry => absent, allowdupe => true, home => '/app/oracle', forcelocal => true, shell => '/usr/bin/ksh', } is instructing Puppet to add the oracle user to the supplementary group "dba" and to set an infinite expiration. Unfortunately the lusermod command does not support adding users to supplementary groups or setting account expiry dates, only useradd supports those commands. In order to update the user provider to handle those cases, we would need the OS supplied tools to support them.
