Puppet isn't good at requests phrased that way. I don't use puppet to say, "make X stay how it currently is". Instead you say, "Make X be the state I declare." You could push out /etc/passwd and /etc/group with Puppet, but you would need to be careful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
