Keywords: aix user password space
Branch:
! I found on my system trailing space after the hashed password.
[root@test3]/root# head /etc/security/passwd
root:
password = 8V.f3zDkRGa7A
lastupdate = 1360050752
[root@test3]/root# grep "password = 8" /etc/security/passwd | od -c
0000000 \t p a s s w o r d = 8 V . f
0000020 3 z D k R G a 7 A
0000040 \n
0000045
! Each time i run puppet it will update the password (i did not change it
between invocation.

! The problem comf form the file lib/puppet/provider/user/aix.rb
# If the password= entry is found, return it
if l =~ /^\s*password\s*=\s*(.*)$/
password = $1; break;
end
! i just printed the password
f.close()
print "#" + password + "#"
return password
! We can see that the reg exp will not discard space after the password. So the
comparison fail !
