I guess I spoke too soon. I thought I understood and correctly implemented
this, but now I notice that it does everything except for updating the password
field in /etc/shadow (using the solution posted by zzamboni above). If I run
the following test, just to modify the password field for a single user, it
works exactly as expected:
body common control
{
bundlesequence => { "test" };
inputs => { "/usr/local/share/doc/cfengine/inputs/cfengine_stdlib.cf" };
}
bundle agent test
{
files:
"/etc/shadow"
comment => "Set the root password...",
edit_line => set_user_field("rob",2,"$1$GLeUVHA8$rL7VMZ4Qb.vVLLJdqeJx6.");
}
I can see that it matched a line in /etc/shadow, and changed field 2:

However, when I execute the bundle that adds the user, the user adding portion
behaves as expected, but the promise made by "/etc/shadow" has "-> This promise
has already been verified" below it, no match is found in the shadow file, and
the password is not updated. I think I'm a little confused about how these
bundles are being executed. Any idesas as to why I'm not able to get the
password updated?
