Issue #16163 has been updated by Chris Barker.
UID 52 is what we use for Puppet on most other platforms we deploy it on (it is reserved and registered with RedHat specifically, I believe), so the postflight checks to see if that is available first, before trying to find a free UID in the 400ish range. And in essence, one could argue that Puppet is a system service, since it is mean to manage the state of your system. ---------------------------------------- Bug #16163: Puppet package for OS X doesn't create the puppet user/group https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16163#change-87092 * Author: Gary Larizza * Status: Accepted * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Chris Barker * Category: OSX * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: puppet users group os x mac package * Branch: ---------------------------------------- The packages we serve out of <http://downloads.puppetlabs.com/mac> don't create the Puppet user/group for you. We should be doing this. It's probably most-feasible to do it in post with calls to dscl, but I'm open to better ways that make for a more friendly package to sysadmins. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
