| OS agent: AIX 7.1 or 7.2 when using the following manifest with puppet apply to create finch user
include add_user |
class add_user { |
# add user, create homedir and set a password |
user { 'finch': |
ensure => 'present', |
comment => 'H Finch', |
managehome => true, |
# note the single quotes to stop $ expanding |
password => 'Qu@lity!', |
home => '/home/finch', |
} |
|
}
|
the user finch gets created along with its home folder as expected Then, if we use the following manifest to get rid of the same user
include delete_user |
class delete_user{ |
|
user { 'finch': |
ensure => 'absent', |
managehome => true, |
home => '/home/finch', |
} |
}
|
the user finch gets deleted but its home folder (/home/finch) is left behind. I have used the same code in centos7 and both user and home folder gets deleted at once as expected Desired Behavior: the code should work in the same manner independently of the OS platform - here AIX and centos Actual Behavior: code is not removing deleted user's home directory in AIX |
