If you want the UID to be the same on every system, then it sounds like it was already created with the “wrong” value on some. You will most likely need to log in to each such system and fix some things by hand anyway. When you change a UID, `usermod` on some systems will fix ownership within a user’s home directory, but if the user owns any files elsewhere, you’ll need to fix them by hand. It can be a big project, but once the UID is fixed, Puppet won’t try to run `usermod` at all. If you don’t care about keeping the UID consistent, then yeah, remove that line as suggested. -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/> The magnitude of a problem does not affect its ownership. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
