See http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/1469 and http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/1700 for more info. You might also want to set "checksum => none" (new in version 0.25.5) to cut down on some of the reporting noise (any time a user would change a file that puppet was not managing, the directory checksum would change and I would get an email report of it.)

In the specific case of home directories, I created a definition that adds the user and then sets the ownership of the home directory to that user's uid and gid. Remote recurse will also solve this problem in general. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
