Uhm, are you sure? I would expect the following to be a noop, which seems to be the case: $ puppet apply -e 'file { "/tmp/wth": mode => 640 }' notice: Finished catalog run in 0.05 seconds Puppet *will* change the file mode, if it's not 640, but will not mess with the resource's existence. A different behavior would be confusing, to me at least. Cheers, Felix -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
