Hi All,
I am trying to using Puppet to add a user with a password on an Ubuntu
12.04 system with Ruby 1.8.7. I have tried this in the two ways as detailed
below. In both cases, the attempt fails with the message "Provider useradd
does not support features manages_passwords; not managing attribute
password". I have read various posts about the requirement for libshadow.
In both the approaches I tried, I *think* I am satisfying this but perhaps
not. Any help is appreciated.
1. Install libshadow at the command line and then run my puppet script
$sudo apt-get update
$sudo apt-get install libshadow-ruby1.8
$puppet apply myuserscript
2. Install libshadow as part of my manifest setup. The relevant code from
my classes is:
class hadoop::usr ($usr_name = 'hadoop', $hashed_pw = undef) {
include ruby::libshadow
group { $usr_name:
ensure => present,
}
user { $usr_name:
ensure => present,
gid => $usr_name,
home => "/home/${usr_name}",
password => $hashed_pw,
managehome => true,
}
Class['ruby::libshadow'] -> Group[$usr_name] -> User[$usr_name]
}
class ruby::libshadow {
package {'libshadow-ruby1.8':
ensure => installed,
}
}
