Issue #19414 has been updated by Trevor Vaughan.
Sorry, I missed this update. I think that I may have not been clear enough. Scenario: I have a user in LDAP/NIS/whatever called 'foo' I want to put user 'foo' into *local system group* 'bar' Issue: Puppet will not put 'foo' into local system group 'bar' unless 'foo' is a local system user. Rationale: Sometimes you need to put users presented by remote systems into local system groups. ---------------------------------------- Bug #19414: Group type should add users to local groups even if the users do not exist on the system. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19414#change-90457 * Author: Trevor Vaughan * Status: Needs More Information * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Trevor Vaughan * Category: group * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 2.7.20 * Keywords: group, remote, unexpected * Branch: ---------------------------------------- In some cases, LDAP etc..., you wish to add users to locally created groups even if the user does not exist locally on the system. This should be possible via the 'group' native type since, otherwise, you have to create an exec or other workaround to make this happen. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
