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 !

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 !
