Description

hi,

right now in the user type we have the ensure parameter that can use absent/present. I suggest to add: locked,unlocked

locked = present + password locked (passwd start by '!' on linux or '*LOCKED*' on freebsd) like this on: 

linux: passwd -l <login>
freebsd: pw lock <login>

unlocked = present + password unlocked like this (passwd do not start by '!' on linux or '*LOCKED*' on freebsd): 

freebsd:  pw unlock <login>
linux: passwd -u <login>

note: password lock does not prevent ssh login by ssh keys :)

this can be handy to disable/enable a user.

regards, jean.
