Thanks for the help so far Neil; here is the isolated piece of code:


#########################################################
# isolated copy
body common control

{
  bundlesequence  => {test};
}

bundle agent test
{
files:
  "/var/test/test/"

   copy_from => cc("/var/cmasterfiles/files/test/", "10.30.30.92"),
   classes => if_else("repaired","notrepaired"),
   depth_search => recurse("inf");

reports:
repaired::
"promised repaired";
notrepaired::
"promise kept";
}

body classes if_else(yes,no)

{
promise_kept     => { "$(no)" };
promise_repaired => { "$(yes)" };
repair_failed    => { "$(no)" };
repair_denied    => { "$(no)" };
repair_timeout   => { "$(no)" };
}

body copy_from cc(from,server)
{
source      => "$(from)";
servers     => { "$(server)" , "localhost" } ;
compare     => "digest";
# preserve    => "false";
}

body depth_search recurse(d)

{
depth => "$(d)";
}



And this is the output, when I run it in Cfengine community 3.0.4p2


cf3  -> File permissions on /var/test/test/hello.txt as promised
cf3  ?> defining promise result class notrepaired
cf3  -> Updated file from 10.30.30.92:/var/cmasterfiles/files/test/hello.txt
cf3  ?> defining promise result class repaired


Am I missing something here? I did not ask for Cfengine to check the 
permissions, it does so anyway. Even with the operator 'preserve' = 'false', it 
goes on to say: 


cf3  -> Updated /var/test/test/hello.txt from source 
/var/cmasterfiles/files/test/hello.txt on 10.30.30.92
cf3  ?> defining promise result class repaired
cf3  -> Copy of regular file succeeded /var/cmasterfiles/files/test/hello.txt 
to /var/test/test/hello.txt.cfnew
cf3  -> Not attempting to preserve file permissions from the source
cf3  -> File permissions on /var/test/test/hello.txt as promised


Is it inferring that the file permissions are there as promised because I do 
not want to preserve them?

Thanks for the help,
Pieter
