I'm hoping someone can help me diagnose a problem with
Puppet version 3.8.7 running on CentOS 6.4.
I have a couple of servers with a total of 43 web-accessed software
systems, each with its own unix user.
These installations are all created from scratch by Puppet, and then
the appropriate version of the software is installed and configured
by scripts running as the relevant user.
I have just added a new feature, for running background jobs.
The feature is enabled for an installation if there is a symlink
from /etc/JobRequests to a JobRequests directory in that
installation's home directory.
These symlinks are managed by puppet via a "File" resource:
file { "${job_requests::service::dir}/${user}" :
ensure => $status ? {
'enabled' => link,
default => absent
},
owner => $user,
target => $queue_dir,
require => [ File[ $job_requests::service::dir ] ]
}
For 41 of the 43 users/installations, this does what I expected,
and creates links like these...
lrwxrwxrwx 1 norfolk root 35 May 19 16:03 norfolk ->
/var/opt/installation-norfolk/JobRequests
But for two of the thirty users on one of the servers, I get
Error: Could not set 'link' on ensure:
Permission denied - /var/opt/installation-swindon/JobRequests or
/etc/JobRequests/swindon
at 60:/etc/puppet/modules/job_requests/manifests/user_files.pp
I've tried a couple of the existing links.
Puppet puts them back.
But won't create the links for these two installations.
Note that the source directory for the link (/etc/JobRequests) is common.
And the target directory for all installations is created by the same
puppet manifests.
And they all have the same permissions.
"WTF?", as they say.
Any suggestions how to start tracking this down?
Robert.
