Title: Message Title

Joe Eig created an issue   Puppet / PUP-3784 Puppet raises error when trying to apply user resources under FreeBSD Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 3.6.2 Assignee: Kylo Ginsberg Components: Client Created: 2014/12/19 7:19 AM Environment: FreeBSD, Ruby 2.0.0p598 Labels: freebsd Priority: Normal Reporter: Joe Eig Apologies if i filed this issue under the wrong project. I have been working on a problem that could be an issue with "pw" under FreeBSD. Puppet manages about 100 user resources and since two weeks some (not all) of my FreeBSDs silently started to raise errors with some (not all) of these resources. Every resource has exactly the same structure: define myusers($username, $comment, $password, $id, $ensure) { user { $username: comment => $comment, password => $password, uid => $id, gid => $id, managehome => true, ensure => $ensure, } }   class user::joe { myuser { "joe": username => "joe", comment => "Joe Eig", password => 'blabla', id => 1100, ensure => present, } } The result is: Error: Could not create user joe: Execution of '/usr/sbin/pw useradd joe -d /home/joe -u 1100 -g 1100 -c Joe Eig -m' returned 74: pw: user 'joe' already exists Error: /Stage[main]/User::Joe/myuser[joe]/User[joe]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Could not create user joe: Execution of '/usr/sbin/pw useradd joe -d /home/joe -u 1100 -g 1100 -c Joe Eig -m' returned 74: pw: user 'joe' already exists Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.10#6340-sha1:7ea293a) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
