Bug #14170: user expiry not accepting -1
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14170
Author: Don Mac
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Low
Assignee:
Category: user
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.11
Keywords: users expiry expire chage
Branch:
When setting the account expiration to -1 it's failing.
user { "newuser":
gid => 600,
name => "newuser",
uid => 600,
password_min_age => 0,
password_max_age => 99999,
expiry => -1,
}
err: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter expiry failed: Expiry dates must be
YYYY-MM-DD
When using 1969-12-31, it sets the expire time to 0 which is immediate
expiration.
I believe this is an issue with usermod and not puppet.
with RHEL5 there is a command to do this 'chage -E -1 newuser' would set the
user to never expire
Workaround is to set the expire far into the future.
