<snippet /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/user/useradd.rb t>
def check_manage_home
cmd = []
if @resource.managehome?
cmd << "-m"
elsif %w{Fedora RedHat CentOS OEL
OVS}.include?(Facter.value(:operatingsystem))
cmd << "-M"
end
cmd
end
</snippet>
<facter output>
ol6-3:~ # facter operatingsystem
OracleLinux
ol6-3:~ #
