Issue #4328 has been updated by Magnus Hedemark.
OS: RHEL 6.2 Puppet Version: puppet-2.7.13-1.el6.noarch from puppetlabs yum repository Syslog excerpt: Apr 16 15:45:27 rcingest01 puppet-agent[9828]: (/Stage[main]/Tomcat/User[tomcat]/home) change from /home/tomcat to /opt/tomcat/ failed: Could not set home on user[tomcat]: Execution of '/usr/sbin/usermod -d /opt/tomcat/ tomcat' returned 8: usermod: user tomcat is currently logged in ---------------------------------------- Bug #4328: modifying user fails if user is logged in https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4328#change-60657 Author: Klavs Klavsen Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6 Keywords: Branch: Just noticed (on Ubuntu 10.04 - probably valid for more OS'es) - that puppet failed to change a users homedir (the nagios user in this case) - and usermod failed to do so, because the user was logged in (the nrpe service was running). To fix this, one way would be to have a "pre-exec" and "post-exec" hook - which in this case, would be to stop and start the relevant service. or perhaps some "obstruction" parameter - where one could define the Service["nrpe"] as an obstruction (which would mean puppet would stop it before and start it again after - if it was indeed stopped by puppet beforehand). -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
