I checked the code, and it certainly seems to still be there. However, it only adds manages_passwords if you have the shadow feature. The type reference is autogenerated, so maybe the machine we generate the type reference on had shadow and doesn't anymore. In any case, if the type reference is wrong, that's something we should get straightened out. > > Best Regards, David > > [1] http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/2.6.8/type.html#user > [2] http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/2.6.9/type.html#user > [3] http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/2.7.0/type.html#user > [4] http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/2.7.1/type.html#user > [5] http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Release_Notes > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > (mailto:[email protected]). > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] > (mailto:[email protected]). > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-dev?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
