On a slight tangent, how about having 755 on a directory but (for
example) having 700 or 600 recursively on all the managed directories
and files underneath it (and maybe different ownership as well).  There
are valid reasons for wanting to do this but the last time I tried it, I
found it impossible with puppet.   Maybe I should look again to see what
I missed.
