Hello in James Loope's book (called Managing Infrastructure with Puppet), he writes on page23: "The password hash can either be mined out of a shadow file or generated with the mkpasswd utility." My question is: how can the hash field be mined out of the shadow field. I tried to use the generate function to execute the following command: grep username /etc/shadow | cut -d: -f2 but that did not work. It seems that the generate function does not like the | pipe command.
My question is: how can I extract that hash value and store it in a Puppet variable? Thank you -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
