centos puppet user resource type - provider useradd does not support features manages_passwords

[Dieter De Meyer]

Hello,

I have a CentOS 6.0 Virtualbox VM to package as a Vagrant box for testing Puppet manifests.

The problem i'm having is with the user resource type not working with CentOS.

I keep having an error message when setting the password for a user.

Provider useradd does not support features manages_passwords; not managing attribute password

I have both ruby-shadow and shadow-utils installed which I found as a solution when googling.

But it still doesn't work.

When I run the following command, it returns false. 

So it doesn't seem to be installed.

ruby -rpuppet -e 'puts Puppet.features.libshadow?'

Am I missing something?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards.
