Sounds like a bug to me. A user with managehome => true but no home directory should not be in sync. You may want to report this (or vote on the bug if it's been reported already). > In a virtual user configuration, what's the best way to ensure that > the home directory is also present, in addition to the /etc/passwd > entries (or, dependent on each other)? I don't understand what the user's being virtual has to do with this, please elaborate. A simple workaround is to wrap the user type in your own define. This define will manage the home dir as a file type resource and you don't use managehome at all. I think it's quite common to do that, since people probably want to ensure the existence of .ssh/authorized_keys or similar things as well.
