You aren't sending the password, you are sending the "shadow". On one system, set the desired password, get the shadow value, put that in puppet.
[root@localhost ~]# passwd student Changing password for user student. New password: BAD PASSWORD: it is too simplistic/systematic Retype new password: passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. [root@localhost ~]# grep student /etc/shadow student: $6$PVOar6qN$WUTN7HG838PnAdzLYCB4HHVSzE/SX100VVdsiIYlBo7TM5c79R38gx942Lkm710v1HMRmS5VnPbHZ2MwY96wt0 :15189:0:99999:7::: [root@localhost ~]# In puppet, passwd => " $6$PVOar6qN$WUTN7HG838PnAdzLYCB4HHVSzE/SX100VVdsiIYlBo7TM5c79R38gx942Lkm710v1HMRmS5VnPbHZ2MwY96wt0", This if from memory, so not syntax checked. That hash is for a password that was simple and got the gripe. Of course, you will have to install and configure puppet on all of your systems. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
