That's amazing news. Powershell support alone would be killer - I had to wrap nearly my entire universe with cmd.exe to make like easier - to the point of writing a shared module for this pain. Powershell can't come fast enough :) <snip> > > That'd be great! Managing the ACL via Win32 API's is not hard (we do much > of it today).

If you're going to extend it to multiple providers (solaris as per your example) it's really similar in idea to RBAC. In fact, if you look at Windows ACLs, RBAC, and set/get facl you pretty much have a new type. Or at least that's what I'd hope :) > > Josh > > -- > Josh Cooper > Developer, Puppet Labs > > *Join us at PuppetConf 2013, August 22-23 in San Francisco - * > http://bit.ly/pupconf13* > **Register now and take advantage of the Final Countdown discount - save > 15%!* > --c Chayim Kirshen Founder, Lyrical Software @lyricaldevops | http://www.lyricaldevops.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
