Issue #708 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.

Affected Puppet version deleted (0.25.4rc1)


Just pointing out that for similar reasons we deliberately restrict the Mac 
user/group providers to the local domain, even though we do get to still use 
the sanctioned command line tools rather than parsing the backing data by hand, 
and even then we've run into the odd issue that has made us consider doing 
everything by hand.

Feature #708: User and Group providers should directly parse /etc/passwd and 
/etc/group

The current user and group providers rely on the Etc module that ships with 
Ruby to figure out the current state of the system, but that library provides 
information about users and groups not manageable by Puppet.

Instead, the providers should use [[ParsedFile]] to directly parse the 
appropriate files.
