On the agent side, generates:
Jun  8 19:34:43 rts-am01 puppet-agent[4426]: (/Stage[main]/my-user/User[myuser]/password) change from [old password hash redacted] to [new password hash redacted] failed: Could not set password on user[myuser]: Execution of '/usr/sbin/usermod -p $1$1234567890123456789012345678901 myuser' returned 6: usermod: myuser not found in /etc/passwd

Without "    password    => '$1$1234567890123456789012345678901',"
NOTHING is generated in the log.

The group always fails silently.

Once I add the notify as above, I get - in the normal non-debug output:
Jun  8 20:36:12 rts-am01 puppet-agent[10122]: I am actually trying to run this class: my-user
