How do you have nsswitch/etc set up to bind to AD? I take it you've got the unix-y extensions to AD in place? ---------------------------------------- Feature #5726: Allow uid range when creating a user https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5726 Author: Tim Stoop Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: user Target version: Affected Puppet version: development Keywords: Branch: Hi there, It would be convenient if you could add a uid range when creating a new user. Otherwise, puppet creates a user with 'highest uid in /etc/passwd + 1', which usually is not what we want. For instance, we want our own users in the ranges 8000-8999, our customer's users in 9000-12999, system users in 1-999 and other types of users (for shared accounts and the like) in 1000-7999. Uids sometimes clash, currently. We solve it now by using extlookup and setting a specific uid, but allowing for a range to be used would be convenient for many situations. Something like this would be nice to be able to do: <pre> user { "oracle-cron": uid_min => 1000, uid_max => 7999, } </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
