Um, no, that's not remotely what I wrote. I've spent far more time than is useful looking at Puppet's Ruby code, TYVM. What I don't want to do is rewrite pw(8) *and* the Ruby standard library to have their own passwd(5) implementations to be used just for managing the sysadmin accounts on a server. I could tolerate changing pw(8) to give it a "local" flag that means only look at/manipulate the local files -- except that the C library doesn't provide any sort of hook for that (yet). I'm proposing to implement that hook. That would at least get me 70% of the way there. -GAWollman _______________________________________________ freebsd-security@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-security-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
