Hi All, I'm very happily using puppet in a large environment, but I ran into a problem:
In our environment, we create multiple root accounts (via NIS), so that each UNIX admin can have a root-priveledge account, but with their own password. This is presenting a problem in using puppet to manage root-owned cron jobs. On RHEL linux, puppet is running 'crontab -l', 'crontab -r', etc without specifying the -u root argument. This causes crontab to go lookup the owner of UID zero, which can return any number of names. This causes multiple crontab files to be created, under different names, all of which execute, causing mass confusion. I see from the sources of the crontab filetype that -u will be specified if the user specified differs from the process UID. Is there any way to work around this, to get puppet to always specify the -u argument?
