+Indeep for /etc/passwd, but in fact, on RedHat system this is not a
+problem since all system users have fixed uidNumber.
+
+The main difference is all ditributions have an /etc/passwd so puppet
+have a standard plugin for it, only Mageia (and others Mandriva base)
+have an urpmi.cfg.
+
+Yum for instance does not have this issue.
+
+&gt;&gt;<i> Such plugin for puppet must be written in ruby, I haven't plan to learn
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> ruby right now.
+</I>&gt;<i> You don't need any plugin to run a grep command, and take a decision

+</I>&gt;<i> would rather be an augeas lense to avoid the need of using grep (I've no
+</I>&gt;<i> clue about the difficulty, tough).
+</I>
+Puppet have a Yum plugin for instance.
+
+I don't have augeas on all servers we have (I have to support Mdv MES 5 to
+Mageia cauldron...).
+
+And finally what you suggest is more or less what I did. Except I did it
+for my own need, it has no options (yet).
