Bug #22070: Puppet managing home directories on Amazon Linux (RHEL-derived)
whether I want it or not

----------------------------------------
First, I set up a user account along these lines:
user { 'myuser':
ensure => 'present',
comment => 'My User',
password => '!!',
shell => '/usr/sbin/nologin',
home => '/home/myuser',
}
except I had a typo and used '/hoome/myuser'. It failed because it said it
couldn't create the dir, which I thought was odd, because Puppet didn't manage
dirs by default as per
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/type.html#user . I corrected the
typo, explicitly set managehome to false (the claimed default), and it still
created the dir. Then I tried removing the home entry entirely, and it still
defaulted to /home/myuser and created it. It also copied skelfiles each time,
and there isn't an apparent option to include or exclude that behavior.
What is happening here? Is managehome mandatory with useradd-based systems on
newer versions of Puppet?
