What if you didnt use preserve => "true" in your copy_from body and instead used files type promises to ensure permissions are as you want at the target? files: myclass:: "/etc/foo.conf" perms => mog("600", "foo", "foo"); You could even class that on the existence of foo.conf ... classes: "etc_foo_conf_exists" expression => fileexists("/etc/foo.conf"); files: myclass.etc_foo_conf_exists:: "/etc/foo.conf" perms => mog("600", "foo", "foo"); -- Nick Anderson <n...@cmdln.org> _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
