def getinfo(refresh = false)
  # JJM 2007-07-24:
  #      Override the getinfo method, which is also defined in nameservice.rb
  #      This method returns and sets @infohash
  # I'm not re-factoring the name "getinfo" because this method will be
  # most likely called by nameservice.rb, which I didn't write.
  if refresh or (!defined?(@property_value_cache_hash) or !@property_value_cache_hash)
    # JJM 2007-07-24: OK, there's a bit of magic that's about to
    # happen... Let's see how strong my grip has become... =)
    #
    # self is a provider instance of some Puppet::Type, like
    # Puppet::Type::User::ProviderDirectoryservice for the case of the
    # user type and this provider.
    #
    # self.class looks like "user provider directoryservice", if that
    # helps you ...
    #
    # self.class.resource_type is a reference to the Puppet::Type class,
    # probably Puppet::Type::User or Puppet::Type::Group, etc...
    #
    # self.class.resource_type.validproperties is a class method,
    # returning an Array of the valid properties of that specific
    # Puppet::Type.
    #
    # So... something like [:comment, :home, :password, :shell, :uid,
    # :groups, :ensure, :gid]
    #
    # Ultimately, we add :name to the list, delete :ensure from the
    # list, then report on the remaining list. Pretty whacky, ehh?
    type_properties = [:name] + self.class.resource_type.validproperties
    type_properties.delete(:ensure) if type_properties.include? :ensure
    type_properties << :guid # append GeneratedUID so we just get the report here
    @property_value_cache_hash = self.class.single_report(@resource[:name], *type_properties)
    [:uid, :gid].each do |param|
      @property_value_cache_hash[param] = @property_value_cache_hash[param].to_i if @property_value_cache_hash and @property_value_cache_hash.include?(param)
    end
  end
