Is there an issue with using subscribe? So in my virtual resource definition I have:
define accounts::virtual ($uid,$realname,$pass) { user { $title: ensure => 'present', uid => $uid, gid => $title, shell => '/bin/bash', home => "/home/${title}", comment => $realname, # password => $pass, password_max_age => '90', password_min_age => '0', groups => ['sudo'], managehome => true, require => Group[$title], } group { $title: gid => $uid, } exec { "/usr/sbin/usermod -p \'$pass\' $title": refreshonly => true, subscribe => User[$title], # logoutput => true, } ... ... ... And this is starting from Scott Lowe's blog: http://blog.scottlowe.org/2012/11/25/using-puppet-for-account-management/ I guess the only gotcha I see is if something changes and causing the user to get updated, it will reset the password to the "default" On Monday, January 13, 2014 5:30:01 PM UTC-6, house_mann wrote: > > Ygor, thanks to the scripting.
