Thanks for the feedback Ed.  It is possible to try to further hide some 
repeated information such as owners and modes.  However this value still 
has to be set somewhere.  If it is not in the current location as I have 
shown you'll have to look in multiple places to find all the information. 
Lets look an example.

            "coreadm" string => "/etc/coreadm.conf";
            "face" string => "/usr/oasys/tmp/TERRLOG";
            "loginlog" string => "/var/adm/loginlog";

            "files" slist => {
                "coreadm",
                "face",
                "loginlog"
            };
 
    methods:

##################
# Pass file information above to a files promise

        redhat|suse|sunos_5_10::

            "any" usebundle => fileperms(
                "${${files}",
                "0600",
                "root",
                "bin"
                );

It looks neater.  Suppose I want to add a file that has a different user, 
group or mode?  In a perfect world we'd be able to define data structures 
in CF as we would in Perl and loop through them.

@files = (

        { 
        mod => 0644,
        usr => root,
        grp => root,
        trgs => [
                 "/etc/coreadm.conf",
                  "/usr/oasys/tmp/TERRLOG",
                 "/var/adm/loginlog";\
        ]
        },
 
        {
        mod => 0600,
        usr => root,
        grp => root,
        trgs => [
                "/root",
                "/etc/secret",
                "/var/log/secure.*"
        ]
        }
)
 

Sincerely,
