RELEASE NOTES * User type now manages password age We’ve add a new feature to user providers manages_password_age, along with the new properties password_min_age and password_max_age to the user type. These represent password minimum a nd maximum age in days. The useradd and user_role_add providers now support these new properties. * User type now manages user expiry We’ve add a new feature to user providers, manages_expiry along with a new property, expiry. The expiry property is specified in the form of YYYY-MM-DD and sets an expiration date for an account An example of both: user { "james": password_min_age => '10', password_max_age => '30', expiry => '2010-09-30', ... ensure => present, } CHANGELOG since 2.6.1 1d719be Fix for #4945 -- explicitly check os to supress man page installation 55417bc Reversion of 021d534482dd8edb863cb77d668ac3525362a0a6 a6e2bea Fixed #4919 - added parenths to fix error message: 1b6094d Fixed documentation typo bdf12fe Fix for #4896 -- stray newline left over from removed diagnostic e7424c6 (#4772) Update SuSE .spec file 0aaa742 Fixes #4792 (Duplicate definition since 2.6.1 upgrade) ea49d13 Improvement to #4025: made spec tests work on all platforms 0b4ce08 Adds #3046 - support for password min/max age e9f9d26 [#4783] (#4783) Fix RRDGraph report generation 34f87cf Add user account expiry to the useradd type and provider a7fb9b1 Fixed #4025 (failure in launchd if certain plists are binary). 2573872 Fix for #4649 -- avoid unsupported features on non-posix systems eb9279c Fix for 4273 -- revert b7e2580ab49ecdb67fc9b522829c005fc3750fbe 53a2bea Fix for #4804 -- escaped backslashes in interpolated strings d12e477 Fixes #4863 (Missing "require 'webrick'" causes nondeterministic spec failures) 574812e (#4860) Add regression tests that would have caught bad params method 68947e7 (#4860) Fix wrong method name.. params seems to be renamed to parameters 021359b Fix for #4644: install.rb works properly on Windows d057b90 Fix #4726 Update puppet rrdtool metric code to support modern rrd ruby bindings 66cf3a9 Fix #4226 - Prepend 'Puppet CA: ' to fqdn for default root ca_name d54352a Port Puppet::SSLCertificates::CA test to rspec effc6b8 Fixes #4852 - error messages involving Whits now mention Classes instead 3f99bd7 Fix #4267 - Create a backup before dropping permissions 6468f4e (#4763) Don't call a method that was removed in Rails 3 activerecord 79d5fde Fixed #4763 - Hardcoded ActiveRecord version 4798df3 Fixes #4822 -- Puppet doc -o option broken 99c1019 [#4798] Puppet doc manifests documentation mode broken 8cd1540 [#4692] undefined variables cause :undef to be passed to functions 06bf566 [#4787] Missing require causing failure bba04e0 Fix for #4746 -- Newline goes at the _end_ of the line 9e17c25 Fix #4743: Allow the audit meta-parameter to accept both 'all', and :all f950061 [#4716] ResourceTypeAPI exposes implementation details that are likely to change 8ff4b9a Fixed #4819 - corrected cron documentation 2b50f30 [#4771] Import of manifests with the same name only happens once 7b8cb74 Fix for #4708 - tagmail should allow . in tagname 6f229ee Minimal fix for #4631 -- set implicit classes as in 0.25.x 021d534 Fixed #3707 - rpm, like dpkg-query exits 1 if the package is not installed.
