Also make certain that your shadow-utils package is up to date. Older package version had an issue where they didn't allow puppet to handle non-local user names very well. If your home directories are on a NAS, then I suspect that you might be running into a similar issue as well. I found that updating shadow-utils seemed to fix the issue.

It seems that RHEL/Oracle requires your explicitly to use the "-M" options. Is there a way to do this with puppet?
