Description
If you set a password parameter in the user type, Puppet will reset the password back on every run. Not sure if this is intended behavior or not. I was hoping to set an initial password when the user is created, but then have Puppet ignore the password from then on.
Tested on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 (which is binary equivalent to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and CentOS 5).

This is expected behaviour, like any other parameter on a resource.
If you refile this as a feature request, note that it’s similar to the existing ‘replace’ parameter in files, where you can choose not to replace files that already exist.
