[刘长元]

user resource use  managehome attribute to decide if need to create home directory. 

and it's default value is false, just try, you can check the results.

I am trying to write a manifest that does not create the home directory for the user as it will be on a NAS volume.  It seems that RHEL/Oracle requires your explicitly to use the "-M" options. Is there a way to do this with puppet?

Also make certain that your shadow-utils package is up to date. Older package version had an issue where they didn't allow puppet to handle non-local user names very well. If your home directories are on a NAS, then I suspect that you might be running into a similar issue as well. I found that updating shadow-utils seemed to fix the issue.

It looks like I need to file a bug report as Oracle change the name of
their linux distribution.

<snippet /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/user/useradd.rb t>
def check_manage_home
cmd = []
if @resource.managehome?
cmd << "-m"
elsif %w{Fedora RedHat CentOS OEL
OVS}.include?(Facter.value(:operatingsystem))
cmd << "-M"
end
cmd
end
</snippet>
