Package: puppet
Version: 0.24.4-5
Severity: normal
Hi...
It seems puppet passes "incorrect" options to usermod when attempting to update
GECOS but not make any other changes. The "-o" option to usermod (to allow
duplicate
user ids) causes usermod to fail if the "-u" option is not present (which, when
not modifying UID, it is not).
It would be fairly simple to either always pass UID to usermod, or to make the
use
of "-o" conditional on use of "-u", but ruby isn't my strong point so I'll
leave it
to someone who will make a neater job of it.
I think the usermod provider code also fails to quote the contents to be placed
in
the GECOS field, despite a comment indicating that it is necessary (it is), and
similar code elsewhere in puppet doing so. But it could be that it's been
sneakily
quoted elsewhere and I didn't spot it; as I said, ruby is not my first language
;-)
