Subject: Permissions and ownership with recursive copy_from

Hello,
I have the following problem that I'm trying to find a solution for. I have a
recursive copy_from that runs on a number of servers:
myclass::
"/"
copy_from => rcp("/cfengine/config/myclass"),
depth_search => recurse("inf"),
file_select => skipfiles,
action => immediate;
rcp looks like this:
body copy_from rcp(file)
{
servers => { "myserver.example.com" };
source => "$(file)";
preserve => "true";
copy_backup => "false";
compare => "digest";
}
And then the file-tree under /cfengine/config/myclass looks something like this
etc/
foo.conf
bar.conf
init.d/
startsomething
For example, I would like to set foo.conf to mode 600 and owner foo.foo,
bar.conf to 644 and owner bar, startsomething to mode 755. One issue is that
the user foo does not necessarily have the same uid on all the servers so I
need some other way then actually setting the owner of the original file to
flag the correct owner. I have been thinking of having file like this
containing the necessary information foo.conf.permissions containing "600",
foo.conf.owner containing "foo" and so on.
Can cfengine do this? Or does anyone have any other suggestions of sollutions?
/Nico
