Hmm, I still don't really see what you are intent on doing specifically, to be honest.
Looking at https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/user/useradd.rb#L195 does this problem not boil down to overriding the passcmd method and adding some kind of case statements to handle your different environments? You mentioned at the beginning of the thread that you're facing issues accessing the resource property values. These *should* work: min_age = resource.should(:password_min_age) max_age = resource.should(:password_max_age) If I'm not mistaken, this should be synonymous with e.g. resource[:password_min_age]. `resource` is the attr_accessor for `@resource`. I'm not sure why so much provider code ignores the accessors.
