Josh Cooper commented on PUP-3774   Re: puppet fails to manipulate user's group membership if group name has space in it There are at least two issues here: Adding a non-local user, e.g. from LDAP, to a local group using usermod will fail. This was originally filed over 6 year ago as https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1942 Specifying the groups for a local user would fail if user already belonged to a group whose name contained spaces. I'm inclined to retarget out of 4.2.0. Seems like the user should be managing the local group, and specifying the (local and external) members that should belong to it, e.g. group { 'wheel': ensure => present, members => ['root', 'vc7733'], auth_membership => false, # ensure group contains at least those members, maybe more } which is what Trevor Vaughan suggested in PUP-598 and submitted a PR for https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/3687.
