Hello there,
we want to change the password of the only user created in all of our chef
clients (well, the user we use to log in through ssh). In our recipe we have
this:
package “libshadow-ruby1.8”
user “kom” do
comment "Kings of Mambo user"
gid "users"
uid 1000
home "/home/kom"
supports :manage_home => true
shell "/bin/bash"
password ""
not_if "grep 'kom: /etc/shadow"
end
This worked for some time, and I just can’t understand what happened,
because it doesn’t anymore. I changed the 'd part to have a new
password, uploaded to the chef-server, and executed chef-client on a client.
this is the log (yes, we’re still on 0.7.4, hope that’s ok :p, been working
flawlessly and didn’t have the time to worry about upgrades):

In the highlighted file, there’s this line:
shadow_info = Shadow::Passwd.getspnam(@new_resource.username)
A couple of lines before there’s a require ‘shadow’. I installed the shadow
gem (sudo gem install shadow), but nothing changed, and I don’t think that
was the desired action anyway since the Shadow gem is an ActiveRecord
restful server.
The package libshadow-ruby1.8 is already installed (from day 1 of the
installation)
apt-get install libshadow-ruby1.8
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
libshadow-ruby1.8 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
I’m out of ideas. Can’t find that Shadow::Passwd anywhere. I can change
passwords everywhere manually, but would rather spend the time trying to fix
this. Any idea/tip/help is most welcome.
Thanks!!
