We need to separate this into two bugs: 1. Cannot create a user without a password (crash) 2. User not idempotent if password specified

Not sure I'm on board with this exact proposal, but I totally agree with the need!

@poliva83 what Chef server are you using? I'm seeing things that make me wonder if perhaps the issue is server-side.

I see the above bug (chef/chef-server#605) on Hosted; not 100% sure if it's the same bug, because it would imply that both create and update were busted. Will investigate more.

I can work around it in cheffish by having it create and then immediately update the group.

@aberrios85 https://github.com/chef/chef-provisioning-docker/pull/83 adds all options, including this one. Mind giving it a whirl? `docker_options: { log_driver: "syslog", log_config: [ "syslog_address=udp://10.0.10.19:32512", "syslog_facility=local0" ] }` is what I expect to work. It's...

This is true, and something I'd like to address with a "prefix." Look for something soon.

I'd love to do a general review of the idempotence of each machine option and see if there is something we can do generically. This is very worth doing.

It's been a minute, but I think it does actually return to the existing field position. To find out whether the field exists, it has to cycle through all the...

One good method that would solve that specific problem would be something like find_one_of("optional1", "optional2", "next_required_field") and have it return not only the value but tell you which one it...
