Call me crazy, but isn't this just a matter of adding "replace => false" to the file resource? If it doesn't exist, Puppet will create it according to the manifest. Once in place, Puppet will leave it alone unless it vanishes, at which point it will be re-created. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
