hi,

I've enabled the the preserve permissions option during copy_from but the 
permissions are not restored correctly on the client side. cf-agent (3.1.0b2) 
seems to skip the group permissions?

I can't find any reason why permissions should not be restored correctly. I 
didn't add a directive to change them otherwise.

server:

$ ls -lah .
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  924 2010-10-28 10:03 ssh_config
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.3K 2010-10-28 10:02 sshd_config


client:

$ rm ssh_config sshd_config
$ cf-agent -f failsafe.cf
$ cf-agent
.............
cf3  -> Copy of regular file succeeded 
/etc/cfengine3/packages/ssh.files/ssh_config to /etc/ssh/ssh_config.cfnew
cf3  -> Attempting to preserve file permissions from the source
cf3  -> Object /etc/ssh/ssh_config had permission 600, changed it to 604
cf3  -> Updated file from

$ ls -alh .

Here's are my configuration directives:

body copy_from package_config(package, file) {
    compare => "hash";
    copy_backup => "timestamp";
    encrypt => "true";
    portnumber => "5308";
    preserve => "true";
    servers => { "my.cfengine.server" };
    source => "$(global.inputdir)/packages/$(package).files/$(file)";
    stealth => "true";
}

bundle agent package_ssh {
    "/etc/ssh/sshd_config"
        copy_from => package_config("ssh", "sshd_config")
    ;
}
