Using ralsh led me in the right direction, thanks. SLES (SuSE) complains about this and RHEL does not.
If I use ' gid => 100' (which points to group unix) and include that same group in the 'groups => ['staff','unix'] ' list, then SLES complains and acts funny. Removing the group 'unix' from the 'groups =>', stops the complaining in SLES. before: user { 'joed': shell => '/bin/bash', uid => '1000', groups => ['group','unix'], gid => '100', ensure => 'present' } after: user { 'joed': shell => '/bin/bash', uid => '1000', groups => ['group'], gid => '100', ensure => 'present' } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
