unwanted created groups with same gids as uids

[dfrise]

Hi, First thanks for the awesome module that we use since we started using hiera.

This issue appeared since we migrated from 1.5.2 to 1.5.3. Assuming following common.yaml extract:

accounts::groups:
  ci:
    gid: '10010'
accounts::users:
  testci:
    uid: '1003'
    primary_group: 'ci'
    populate_home: true

Which means we want the testci user to belong to the primary group ci. After running the first puppet run on a new node, the testci user gets created:

# grep testci /etc/group
testci:x:1003:
# id testci
uid=1003(testci) gid=1003(testci) groups=1003(testci)

Hopefully this does not affect already configured nodes.

Uncommenting the #141 line in user.pp seems to fix this:

140   User<| title == $username |> {
141     #gid       => $real_gid,
142     comment    => $comment,
143     managehome => $managehome,
144     home       => $home_dir,
145   }

Was this intentional (are we missing something)? Thanks, Dominique

@deric I'm also seeing exactly the same behaviour as @dfrise and uncommenting this line also works for me - can you confirm why this line is commented out? It appears to nullify the option of primary_group....

[Elbandi]

bug still exists:

accounts::users:
  elbandi:
    comment: "elbandi"
    uid: 1013
    primary_group: 'users'
    groups: ["users"]

after run puppet apply:

Notice: /Stage[main]/Accounts/Accounts::User[elbandi]/User[elbandi]/ensure: created
Notice: /Stage[main]/Accounts/Accounts::Group[users]/Group[users]/members: members changed '' to 'elbandi'

and

# id elbandi
uid=1013(elbandi) gid=1013(elbandi) groups=1013(elbandi),100(users)
