No it is a bug http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2014 that happens when the file was not present before and the sshkey provider needs to create it first. You can use a file resource to actually set the correct permissions, like file { '/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts': ensure => file, owner => 'root', group => 'root', mode => '0644', } Now the owner/group/mode are controlled with your file resource while the actual content is controlled by your sshkey resources. -Stefan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
