Jira (PUP-7486) useradd provider silently does not set password

[Josh Cooper (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Josh Cooper commented on PUP-7486   Re: useradd provider silently does not set password Alan Smith ah my mistake, I was conflating provider features used in confine statements (which can delay evaluation of the resource until later in the run when the provider becomes suitable): confine :feature => :cfpropertylist With a provider's required_feature for managing parameter/properties. This form doesn't cause resources to be deferred: newparam(:umask, :required_feature => :umask) do I agree silently ignoring it is wrong. Either the resource should be deferred (in case libshadow is installed during the run), or the manifest author should add an explicit dependency, and puppet should fail the run if it's asked to manage a property/parameter that the provider can't.
