I meant to say that, if a file name is specified such as /etc/motd, the
config would work but, if /etc is specified with recurse => true to update
all the files in files-solaris/etc, the config would not work.

This is what I try to avoid. If a file/director gets added to
files-solaris/etc such as inet/ntp.conf as a later time, no puppet config
change would be necessary.
