Issue #6824 has been updated by Nigel Kersten. Status changed from Needs Decision to Needs More Information
We actually have a setting to resolve this in the config file: `maximum_uid = 4294967290` Can you verify that increasing this value resolves your issue? If so, we can target updating the default setting (as shown above). ---------------------------------------- Bug #6824: Cannot manage account for user nfsnobody: "tried to get name field for silly id 4294967294" https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6824 Author: Jacek Masiulaniec Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: Red Hat Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.6 Keywords: Branch: Affected Dashboard version: I'd like to receive userdel suggestions for unmanaged users: resources { 'user': noop => true, purge => true, unless_system_user => true, } On default CentOS install, there is single non-system user: nfsnobody:x:4294967294:4294967294:Anonymous NFS User:/var/lib/nfs:/sbin/nologin which would, roughly, translate to: user { 'nfsnobody': uid => 4294967294, gid => 4294967294; } However, this triggers buggy warning: [root@localhost puppet]# puppet agent --test --noop info: Caching catalog for localhost.localdomain info: Applying configuration version '1300966851' err: Tried to get name field for silly id 4294967294 notice: /Stage[main]//Node[default]/User[nfsnobody]/gid: current_value 4294967294, should be 4294967294 (noop) notice: Finished catalog run in 0.42 seconds [root@localhost puppet]# -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
