Alternatively to exec, you could: 1) let the security tool fix the motd once 2) copy it to the puppetmaster and convert it into a template with your extra lines 3) change your puppet manifests to only deploy the new motd template if there's evidence the security script has run. Something like: file { "/etc/motd": content => template("motd.erb"), onlyif => "test -f /path/to/evidence_log" } would be simple, integrating your security tool into your puppet manifests would be another way. -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
