Issue #10540 has been updated by Jo Rhett.
user { 'cacti':
ensure => present,
home => '/local/home/cacti',
system => true,
uid => 499,
gid => 499,
comment => 'cacti',
shell => '/bin/bash',
managehome => true,
}
Older clients barf on the "system" parameter.
However, aside from puppet issues we have found numerous other upgrade-related
issues. Patches that can't be applied, scripts that won't operate properly
without other upgrade related issues. These aren't puppet-related issues, but
it really would be good if it was possible to use a facter value to produce a
much shortened catalog used to achieve a specific upgrade.

we are having problems with incompatibility between older clients and newer
configuration syntax.
(in specific, user resource system attribute was added somewhere between
2.6.6 and 2.6.11)
It seems the right thing to do for older clients when they attach is to give
them a very short manifest that immediately upgrades them. I'm trying to
figure out how to do this. I want something like this at the top of site.pp
if $puppetversion == '2.6.6' {
class { upgradepuppet: }
stop-parsing-here
}
I'd rather avoid putting all the rest of site.pp inside an else statement if I
can.
