Issue #7002 has been updated by Nan Liu. Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs More Information
Puppet only creates the home directory if the user account does not exist because managehome is a parameter and not a property. In this case the implementation is simply using the -m flag to create the directory when creating the user. If the directory needs to exist and be enforced by puppet, use the file resource to manage it instead, this also gives the flexibility of allowing the home directory exist as symlink, zfs filesystem, etc. ---------------------------------------- Bug #7002: "user" value "managehome" does not detect missing home directory https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7002 Author: Forrest Aldrich Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: user Target version: 2.6.x Affected Puppet version: 2.6.7 Keywords: user managehome Branch: After a user has been created via puppet "user" function with "managehome => true" it does not detect if the home directory has been deleted. This is tested on RHEL 5.5 (current). -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
