Hi, Stefan. I can't reproduce this on my 2.6.4 machines. Here's what I've got:
# moduledir/autoreqproblems/manifests/init.pp class autoreqproblems {} # moduledir/autoreqproblems/manifests/myfile.pp class autoreqproblems::myfile { file {"/tmp/myfile": ensure => file, owner => "davexx", } } # moduledir/autoreqproblems/manifests/myuser.pp class autoreqproblems::myuser { user {"davexx": home => '/home/someplace', ensure => present, managehome => true, } } # site.pp node 'barn2.magpie.lan' { include autoreqproblems::myfile } [root@barn2]# puppet agent --test info: Retrieving plugin info: Loading facts in testfact info: Loading facts in testfact info: Caching catalog for barn2.magpie.lan info: Applying configuration version '1299869350' err: /Stage[main]/Autoreqproblems::Myfile/File[/tmp/myfile]/ensure: change from absent to file failed: Could not set 'file on ensure: Could not find user davexx at /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/ autoreqproblems/manifests/myfile.pp:5 [root@barn2]# ls -lah /tmp total 40K drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 4.0K Mar 11 10:49 . drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4.0K Dec 16 16:19 .. drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4.0K Dec 16 16:19 .font-unix drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4.0K Dec 16 16:19 .ICE-unix -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jan 3 14:01 mutt-barn2-6984-0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 11 10:49 myfile [root@barn2]# puppet resource user davexx user { 'davexx': ensure => 'absent' } Am I missing something?
