Hi,
I'm trying to generate passwords for user accounts using the generate
function and calling a local script on the server, but that fails with
an error about Broken pipe :
notice:
/Stage[main]/Accounts::Virtual/Accounts::Add_user[xesc]/Notify[DM1HjM9a-VIx/usr/bin/tr:
write error: Broken pipe
/usr/bin/tr: write error
/bin/cat: write error: Broken pipe
]/message: defined 'message' as 'DM1HjM9a-VIx/usr/bin/tr: write error:
Broken pipe
/usr/bin/tr: write error
/bin/cat: write error: Broken pipe
'
notice: dAfux7Bb3YRz/usr/bin/tr: write error: Broken pipe
/usr/bin/tr: write error
/bin/cat: write error: Broken pipe
Code I'm using is:
# generate random password and send to user if necessary
if $generate_password {
$password = generate("/opt/ict/bash/generate_password.sh", '12')
$encrypted_password =
generate("/opt/ict/bash/encrypt_password.sh", "$password")
notify { $password: }
exec { "setpass $username":
path => "/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin/:/usr/bin",
command => "usermod -p '$encrypted_password' $username",
refreshonly => true,
subscribe => User[$username],
unless => "cat /etc/shadow | grep $username| cut -f 2 -d :
| grep -v '!'",
}
script /opt/ict/bash/generate_password.sh
PWDLEN=12
/bin/cat /dev/urandom |/usr/bin/tr -dc _A-Z-a-z-0-9 | /usr/bin/head
-c${1:-$PWDLEN};
Any idea how the generate function works internally in Puppet? Can I
use pipes in the scripts?
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Xesc
