In your Augeas resource, you could `rm` all other settings before setting your own within a single resource. If this produces no actual change in the written config file then the resource won't "change" either. rm /files/etc/foo.ini/iniheader/* set /files/etc/foo.ini/iniheader/entry1 foo set /files/etc/foo.ini/iniheader/entry2 bar If you're managing the same section across multiple Augeas resources (e.g. more of a use case for Puppet's purge) then I don't think there's a good solution. Perhaps you could mark your Puppet-managed resources with a comment (a #comment subnode usually) and then delete anything that doesn't match it. -- Dominic Cleal Red Hat Consulting m: +44 (0)7817 878113 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
