Our environment (mostly RHEL) uses LDAP for user and group administration. Unfortunately, we have some cases where (broken) software insists on local users and groups. I'm guessing it's checking the files directly instead of using the proper system calls.
Our current process is to create the local user/group matching the LDAP entries. How are people handling this case? Puppet won't create the user locally, as it sees the user as already existing. We are currently using exec to call the local versions of the commands (luseradd, lusermod, etc), but that's something of a hack and makes for more complex classes. Does anyone have a graceful way to handle this in puppet? Thanks, Rob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
