Right, but not release critical.

There is at least one open pull request against this Technique, like https://github.com/Normation/rudder-techniques/pull/166/files. It should be investigated first, the changes there may affect this bug.

Since version 2.4 is not maintained anymore, retageting this issue to 2.6

Benoit, could you check that the bug is still present in 2.10 ?

I don't understand at all what this bug is about.

Technique 'User Management': Modifications on /etc/passwd /etc/shadow or /etc/group can result in errors

This is about 'User Management' technique, there are error when it touches etc files

The promise only check the existence of user in /etc/passwd

This is a description of how it works

so if the associated line in the others files are deleted

When could it be deleted ?

no action will be done.

This is a description of how it works

If the user is deleted from /etc/passwd and not in the /etc/group the user will not be able to be created.

If it is deleted why would it be created ?
If the user is deleted only from etc/password and not from etc/group, this is a human made mistake.
If this is a problem, then it is a duplicate of #2584

Hey Nicolas, do you think we should mark this as a duplicate of #2584 ?

closing as duplicate, as the problem seems to be what is described in #2584
