Thanks Paul - this is the lead I needed to get to at least a work
around.
Given:
=== EXHIBIT A ===
define user_test() {
user { $title:
ensure => present,
uid => undef
}
}
node "server" {
user_test { 'boogy': }
}
=== EXHIBIT B ===
define user_test(uid = undef) {
user { $title:
ensure => present,
uid => $uid
}
}
node "server" {
user_test { 'boogy': }
}
=== EXHIBIT C ===
define user_test(uid = undef) {
user { $title:
ensure => present,
uid => $uid ? { undef => undef, default => $uid }
}
}
node "server" {
user_test { 'boogy': }
}
=== EXHIBIT D ===
define user_test(uid = false) {
user { $title:
ensure => present,
uid => $uid ? { false => undef, default => $uid }
}
}
node "server" {
user_test { 'boogy': }
}
=== END EXHIBITS ===
=== OUTPUT FROM EXHIBIT B ===
puppetd --test
info: Caching catalog at /var/puppet/state/localconfig.yaml
notice: Starting catalog run
err: //Node[server]/User_test[boogy]/User[boogy]/uid: change from 511
to failed: Could not set uid on user[boogy]: Execution of '/usr/sbin/
usermod -u boogy' returned 4: usermod: uid 0 is not unique
notice: Finished catalog run in 5.80 seconds
=== END OUTPUT ===
Results:
EXHIBIT A: works (except I can't specify uid, naturally)
EXHIBIT B: fails (see OUTPUT FROM EXHIBIT B)
EXHIBIT C: fails (similar to OUTPUT FROM EXHIBIT B)
EXHIBIT D: works!
So, apparently you can't assign undef to a variable. I'm thinking this
is a bug. Thoughts, anyone?
Thanks,
Tim
