Issue #9337 has been updated by David Thompson. File init.pp added
Hi Nigel, thanks for looking at this. Yes, I'm a puppet noob. I was following the information at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/type.html#group-2 ...which seemed to indicate that group memberships should be specified via the groups attribute of the user type, not the members attribute of the group type (see attachment). If I specify the group membership as you have, yes, membership is updated properly. So the rest of this becomes a (gentle) rant. If the OS X provider can't update groups based on User => groups information, providing it there should either be ignored or cause an error. OTOH, it breaks the abstraction to say that for some architectures/providers the information must be in the Group => members attribute and for others it must be provided via User => groups. Is there a way out of this so that I only have to have a single Users/Groups definition for all my architectures? ---------------------------------------- Bug #9337: OS X Lion group membership not updated https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9337 Author: David Thompson Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: OSX Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.3 Keywords: Branch: Switching to puppet (2.7.3) for managing my OS X Lion systems, I'm finding group membership not being updated. Couldn't find a dup for this, hope the information helps... Starting out, user dt is not a member of group dt-grp: <pre> # dscl . read /groups/dt-grp | grep GroupMembership GroupMembership: </pre> ...Run puppet, says it adds to the group: <pre> # puppet agent --test --environment production info: Caching catalog for cypress.keck.waisman.wisc.edu info: Applying configuration version '1315332406' notice: /Stage[main]/Users_test/User[dt]/groups: groups changed '' to 'dt-grp' notice: Finished catalog run in 0.89 seconds </pre> ...but the user still isn't part of the group: <pre> # dscl . read /groups/dt-grp | grep GroupMembership GroupMembership: </pre> ...Hrm, let's add the user manually...just like the puppet code does... <pre> # dseditgroup -o edit -n . -a dt dt-grp # dscl . read /groups/dt-grp | grep GroupMembership GroupMembership: dt </pre> ...But puppet still tries to add the user to the group... <pre> # puppet agent --test --environment production info: Caching catalog for cypress.keck.waisman.wisc.edu info: Applying configuration version '1315332406' notice: /Stage[main]/Users_test/User[dt]/groups: groups changed '' to 'dt-grp' notice: Finished catalog run in 0.83 seconds </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
