This appears to be a bug. I've opened a ticket for resolution.

You can work around it by specifying the group in your user resource.
#puppet resource user logstash ensure=present gid=logstash

I don't even have it installed. Thing is, I can add the user by using "-g".
But, why is puppet not able to do so, that's what is wondering me.

Generally when I see weird errors like this with users/group nscd has gotten in
my way. Might be worth disabling nscd (and making sure its really off) then
trying this again.

Hi,
This is precisely what I am observing.
[root@index11 ~]# puppet resource group logstash ensure=present
notice: /Group[logstash]/ensure: created
group { 'logstash':
ensure => 'present',
}
[root@index11 ~]# puppet resource user logstash ensure=present
err: /User[logstash]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Could not
create user logstash: Execution of '/usr/sbin/useradd -M logstash' returned 9:
useradd: group logstash exists - if you want to add this user to that group,
use -g.
user { 'logstash':
ensure => 'absent',
}
[root@index11 ~]#
How do I fix this? I want to avoid not using execs. :)
Thanks.
