I just wanted to throw this out there to see if it's a known issue or
not. We have a manifest that looks like:
class auth-OIT-Security {
group {
'OIT-Security' :
ensure => present,
gid => 5003;
}
user {
'smith' :
ensure => present,
uid => 119,
gid => 5003,
home => '/home/smith',
comment => 'John Smith',
managehome => true;
}
}
This works on RHEL4 and RHEL5 systems that are not subscribed to the
FasTrack channel. Specifically, shadow-utils-4.0.17-13.el5 works
correctly, but when it is updated to shadow-utils-4.0.17-14.el5,
puppet bombs out with
err: Could not create OIT-Security: Could not find a default provider
for group
warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
warning: Configuration could not be instantiated: Could not find a
default provider for group
or
err: Could not create smith: Could not find a default provider for
user
warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
warning: Configuration could not be instantiated: Could not find a
default provider for user
(The user and/or group it fails on seems random).
The changelog for shadow-utils-4.0.17-14.el5 indicates:

Peter Vrabec <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2:4.0.17-14:
- fix the problem when useradd or usermod can give users access
to the root group
Resolves: #450262
Looking at the patch used to fix the problem, they've simply added a
check for NULL group names and error out if one is found (e.g. if you
did useradd -g foo -G bar,baz, someuser - previously it would add this
user to the root group because of the trailing comma).
Any thoughts on this? Is it fixable in the user provider in puppet, or
does the fix need to happen in useradd/usermod?
Thanks,
Matt
