Title: Message Title

Joe Pinsonault created an issue   Puppet / PUP-3287 Creating a user resource can result in incorrect UIDs on the users home folder Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.7.1 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 17/Sep/14 5:16 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Joe Pinsonault Hard to explain concisely. These steps result in an /etc/passwd file that has a user of one UID, and a home folder with a different UID. Steps: 1. puppet resource user joe ensure=present managehome=true 2. puppet resource user beagle ensure=present managehome=true 3. puppet resource user joe ensure=absent – Note that this command doesn't have managehome=true 4. puppet resource user joe ensure=present managehome=true /etc/passwd contains: beagle:x:535:535::/home/beagle:/bin/bash joe:x:536:536::/home/joe:/bin/bash {{stat}}ing the home folders shows a different UID: [root@ipidgw0qia7c3m6 ~]# stat /home/joe File: `/home/joe' Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 directory Device: fd00h/64768d Inode: 140558 Links: 2 Access: (0700/drwx------) Uid: ( 534/ UNKNOWN) Gid: ( 534/ UNKNOWN) The only practical consequence I've found for this so far is that trying to create an ssh_authorized_key resource for user joe after these steps fails, saying it can't find a user for UID 334. It appears to be looking at the home folder for the UID, which now disagrees with the {{/etc/passwd} file. Running puppet resource user joe correctly reports UID 336, in agreement with /etc/passwd Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159-sha1:44eaede) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
