Puppet not changing user password

$

When I commission a new Raspberry Pi, I want Puppet to change the password from the default. However, I do NOT want the password changed subsequently. I am therefore trying to create an external fact that is tested, with the code being executed only if the fact is false. I also have a hiera file for each machine that indicates whether this should be done in the first place. My code (with salt & hashed password changed): class pi_user::password { if hiera('pi_password_wanted') { unless $facts['pi_password_done'] { $host=$facts['hostname'] notice "Adding pi password for ${host}" file { '/etc/facter/facts.d/pi_password_done.txt': ensure => 'present', content => 'pi_password_done=true ', } notice "Added password done file for ${host}" user { 'pi': password => '$6$salt$hash', } notice "Set password for ${host}" } } } Running this on the Pi gives: root@pi245:/home/dr# rm /etc/facter/facts.d/pi_password_done.txt root@pi245:/home/dr# puppet agent -t Info: Using configured environment 'production' Info: Retrieving pluginfacts Info: Retrieving plugin Info: Loading facts Info: Caching catalog for pi245.lan.davies.systems Info: Applying configuration version '1487948379' Notice: /Stage[main]/Pi_user::Password/File[/etc/facter/facts.d/pi_password_done.txt]/ensure: defined content as '{md5}3e0303548baed7b48b699777a3825360' Notice: Applied catalog in 4.76 seconds And /var/log/syslog on the master contains: Feb 24 14:59:39 puppet puppet-master[31892]: (Scope(Class[Pi_user::Password])) Adding pi password for pi245 Feb 24 14:59:39 puppet puppet-master[31892]: (Scope(Class[Pi_user::Password])) Added password done file for pi245 Feb 24 14:59:39 puppet puppet-master[31892]: (Scope(Class[Pi_user::Password])) Set password for pi245 The external fact file is created, but the password is not changed. /etc/shadow's time stamp does not change. I thought I had this working on 4.8.1, but the most recent download is 4.8.2. I get the same symptoms with both versions of Puppet master. What should I look at, please? TIA & regards, John Davies
