Hi Justin, what version of puppet are you using and what does
facter osfamily
return? The `useradd` provider adds `-M` to the comandline if you don't want to
manage the homedirectory on RedHat so I'll have to find out why it is not
triggered.
Running `puppet agent -t --debug ...` also helps because you will see the
actual command puppet uses to create your user.

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?
