Very new to Puppet and I need to create a class that checks the file
permissions and ownership for 60- 100 files. Some of the files will be
named differenty or have a different path depending on the OS. I am aware
of the core_permissions class demonstrated in the Puppet 3.0 Quick Start,
and I have read "Reduce Duplicated File Attributes" here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!newtopic/puppet-users
That document advocates setting a default set of attributes for the File
resource, and then nest all the declarations inside one resource statement,
like so:
File {
ensure => "present",
owner => "root",
group => "root",
mode => 644,
}
file {
"/etc/cobbler/modules.conf":
content => template("cobbler/modules.conf");
"/etc/cobbler/dhcp.template":
content => template("cobbler/dhcp.template");
# override the permissions for this one file
"/etc/cobbler/users.digest":
source => "puppet:///modules/cobbler/users.digest.live",
mode => 660;
}
This looks kind of ugly to me. Anyone figure out a nicer way to do this? I
will only be checking "ensure", "mode", "owner" and "group".
I want the class to be readable to admins who are new to Puppet, but I don't
want to have a separate "file" declaration for each file.
Thanks.
