I don't really get it. You're testing dns_role agains "master". And you can see that dns_role is indeed "master" when you just use some simple <%= dns_role %>. And the code inside your if statement is evaluated. So what exactly is the problem? Or is your problem that even nodes that dont have dns_role set are including this cp command? And dns_role is still "master" when you never set it to "master"? Or do you see the comments but no cp command? I just put your snippet in a template and it works as expected. -Stefan
