I am noticing some very odd behavior with my puppet server and a windows client.
For my puppet server I have a module setup similar to this below... Please note, I am not setting any permission on this file. file { "C:\\directory\\file.dll": ensure => 'present', source => "puppet:///modules/aaa/file.dll", } The actual permissions in the unix filesystem is set to 644 When I apply this to my Windows client, the puppet agent will change the mode of the file *already on the server* to 0644, which is not what I would expect puppet to do. I would expect since it is already there, it would not even care about the permissions. I know this is taking the UNIX filesystem permissions because I chmod'd the file on the filesystem to 0777 and when running puppet on Windows, it took the new permissions. This becomes problematic because I am using puppet environments with an SVN checkout system. Every time I update svn checkouts, it defaults to 0644. Does anyone know if this is expected behavior or ways around this? -- _____________________________________________________ This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the addressee.
