Linux virtual-rhel 2.6.32-431.1.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Nov 24 09:37:37 EST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
puppet-3.4.3-1.el6.noarch
facter-1.7.5-1.el6.x86_64

If for some reason setsebool command takes too long to execute it is killed and following error appears in Puppet log:

sh: line 1:  5597 Killed                  /usr/sbin/setsebool -P rsync_export_all_ro on 2>&1

Error: private method `split' called for nil:NilClass

Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Selboolean[rsync_export_all_ro]/value: change from off to on failed: private method `split' called for nil:NilClass

Puppet should process the exception above and give reasonable error message. Even better would be to have timeout parameter for selboolean resource.
