This seems to work but it does seem perilous and ugly. A meta description of what I am trying to do is: - install firebird sql server - replace the 'security' file with a known file - restart the firebird service
I'm not going to include firebird::install class because the part that worries me is that I can't work on /var/lib/firebird/2.1/system/security.fdb directly because we will want to maintain it locally after installation. I only want a single shot deploy. So I am linking to /root/security.fdb and then copying it from there to it's home. I suppose there is a much better way to do this but I haven't found it. My worry is that I never actually overwrite /var/lib/firebird/2.1/system/security.fdb after the initial install/configure phase is completed. class firebird::configure { file {"/root/security.fdb": source => "puppet:///modules/firebird/security.fdb", owner => root, group => root, mode => 640, replace => false, } exec { "Copy KNOWN security.fdb into position": path => "/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin", environment => "HOME=/root", command => "/bin/cp /root/security.fdb /var/lib/firebird/2.1/system", user => "root", group => "root", logoutput => on_failure, require => Class["firebird::install"], } } Is there a better way? -- Craig White ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ craig.wh...@ttiltd.com 1.800.869.6908 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ www.ttiassessments.com Need help communicating between generations at work to achieve your desired success?
