Thanks for your response Keiran. I am trying to use just that resource but
can't seem to get it to work. Here is what my class looks like:
class oracle_password {
user { 'oracle':
ensure => 'present',
password => '$1$etSqP2ht$3sjFIsw7q7Vxs5qc5sju//'
}
}
[root@testrhel home]# grep -i oracle /etc/shadow
[root@testrhel home]#
Now once this resource is applied my assumption is there should be a
/etc/shadow file entry for the oracle account but that never happens:
[root@testrhel home]# puppet agent -t
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Caching catalog for testrhel.gene.com
Info: Applying configuration version '1356045773'
/Stage[main]/Oracle_password/User[oracle]/password: created password
Finished catalog run in 0.99 seconds
[root@testrhel home]#
[root@testrhel home]# grep -i oracle /etc/shadow
[root@testrhel home]#
Sorry but you might receive a similar message twice. Forgot to reply to
this post.
Thanks,
-J
