Puppet

Several AIX providers (aixobject/user/group) were merged into the code a couple days ago. I just checked out from source and gave it a try on an AIX6.1 TL4 host. Most of it works (thank you! psyched to see puppet and AIX play nice), but if you specify a gid instead of a group name, the manifest errors. See below. I’ll be happy to re-test if yall have a hard time finding an AIX host. :)

[root@sfcloudap001 puppet]# cat modules/test/manifests/init.pp 
class test {

  group{'test_g':
    ensure => present,
    gid => 6969,
  }

  user{'test_u':
    ensure => present,
    uid => 99,
    gid => 6969,
    home => "/tmp/",
  }
}
