The smf provider could surely be locally modified to do that, and that might prove convenient for you. I don't favor that as default behavior, however. What about choosing just one of the above options and enforcing that? Puppet can handle either. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
