Issue #22070 has been updated by Justin Honold.
1.6.18. I don't intend to upgrade it promptly as no other issues are noted, but if you're confident that it's already resolved, feel free to resolve this ticket as well. Thanks! ---------------------------------------- Bug #22070: Puppet managing home directories on Amazon Linux (RHEL-derived) whether I want it or not https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22070#change-97169 * Author: Justin Honold * Status: Needs More Information * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Justin Honold * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- 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? -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
