Bug #15488: Puppet 2.7.18 can't create a user on OS X 10.8
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15488
Author: Joe Block
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category: user
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.17
Keywords: os x,mountain lion,10.8,2.7.18
Branch:
If I include a puppet user reference in my manifest like so:
user { 'localadmin':
ensure => 'present',
comment => 'local Administrator',
gid => '20',
home => '/Users/localadmin',
password => 'redacted',
uid => '499',
}
When I run puppet ( with puppet apply --modulepath=modules --verbose
nodeless.pp ) I get the following error message:
info: Applying configuration version '1342049098'
err: /Stage[osx]/Security::Admin_account::localadmin/User[localadmin]: Could
not evaluate: undefined method `string' for nil:NilClass
Removing the password line doesn't help.
I'm also seeing errors in puppet resource user foo when I run it as root, but
not when I run it as a mere mortal.
