Thanks for the reply. I modified the rc script to run as a user. But now I'm facing the following problem: I have to include some nasty puppet code for adding the service before i can use the service resource type. And the service resource type returns ok, but the service is in fact not started. When i do it manually, it requires a password for that user. So, I tried to manage the user with puppet and provided a password, but get the message: Provider useradd does not support features manages_passwords; not managing attribute password I know this is a problem with Puppet and CentOS, but I have ruby-shadow and shadow-utils installed on my CentOS 6.0 VM.
I also don't know if this is going to help with starting the service. I want to use the service type to start the service with a specific user, but without asking for a password. Any help would be appreciated. Regards. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
