Disable user password

[Roman Belyakovsky]

Let's say I want to disable password for some user. I can do this with "passwd -d someuser", I can do it with puppet in the following way:

user { 'someuser':
        comment => "no password user",
                password=> '',
}

But when I do the same in salt:

someuser:
  user.present:
  - password: ''

password doesn't become disabled. Here's how the /etc/sadow look for a disabled pass:

someuser::16213:0:99999:7:::

And for a smoker:

someuser:!:16225:0:99999:7:::

Is there a way to actually disable it with salt configuration?

I had the same issue and didn't know how to solve it.
I made it work with something like:

passwd -l someuser:
  cmd.run

I know it's not the way to do it, but at least it works.
(If somebody knows how to do it properly, I'd love to learn it too)

I hope it helps!

Could one of you open an issue on Github?  We should support this functionality.

It’s already implemented by my colleague :

cmd.run is executed every time so it’s a dirty way.
