Issue #21148 has been updated by Andrew Parker.
Assignee changed from Andrew Parker to Stefan Schulte
`/etc/passwd` contained the `/home` version of the home directory (don't have
the one from this exact instance anymore), however according to the Solaris 11
`useradd` docs
<pre>
-d dir
Specifies the auto_home entry for the new user. The path
/home/username is entered in /etc/passwd. When the user
subsequently references /home/username, the automounter
will mount the directory specified here on
/home/username.
The argument to the -d option can be specified as
server:dir where server is the hostname of the machine
on which the home directory resides and dir is the path
to the user's home directory. If the server is a remote
host, then the home directory needs to be created on the
remote host for the system to mount it, when the user
logs in. If no server name is specified then the home
directory will be created on the host where the command
is executed, when the -m option is used.
</pre>
This makes `useradd` on my Solaris machine quite different from a GNU
`useradd`.

Bug #21148: 'puppet resource user' does not report the correct home directory
on Solaris
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/21148#change-92714
* Author: Andrew Parker
* Status: Needs More Information
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: Stefan Schulte

* Target version:
* Affected Puppet version:
* Keywords:
* Branch:
----------------------------------------
The `home` that is reported is `/home/username`, however, this value cannot be
used for managing the user or adding a user. This means that the output of
`puppet resource user` cannot be fed into `puppet apply` to recreate, or
enforce, that state.
