The issue is that I don't know the exact names of all the nagios_hosts ahead of time, so I can't declare file resources explicitly, each host has it's own host file.
So I've tried declaring a "file" resource for the directory that the nagios_host files get deposited in and using "recurse" to set the permissions on all the files in the directory but I get an error in puppet saying I have a circular dependency, I'm assuming because the "nagios_host" type explicitly sets permissions on the files. I've tried using "exec" but I need to make sure the exec gets called after all the nagios_hosts are collected otherwise it's pointless but how do you tell the exec command to run after the collection? I've tried setting a "before" parameter in the exported @@nagios_host resource but puppet gave me an error when I tried to use the "title" of the exec instead of the command. I haven't tired using the exec command itself in the "before" parameter because it has switches, i.e. "chmod 644 /etc/nagios3/hosts/*", and I thought it would cause problems with spaces and it looks messier as well. I don't mind doing that, though, if it works.
