Title: Message Title

Eric B. Hymowitz created an issue   Puppet / PUP-5103 Puppet is checking attributes in a strict consecutive order Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 2.7.25 Assignee: Kylo Ginsberg Components: Catalog Application Created: 2015/08/28 7:36 AM Environment: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.7 (Santiago) Puppet v2.7.26 puppet.noarch 2.7.26-2.el6 @epel There is no option in the "Affects Version/s" field for 2.7.26 Priority: Normal Reporter: Eric B. Hymowitz I have a class that says, in part, this: File { owner => 'root', group => 'root', mode => '0700', seluser => 'system_u', selrole => 'object_r', seltype => 'bin_t', selrange => 's0', } file { "/root/SEPreset.sh" : ensure => file, source => $filesource, } I'm going to draw to your attention that the SELinux context for this file is not the standard SELinux context for files in /root . So I updated the source file. On the next run, Puppet applied the new file. On the next run after that, Puppet changed the SELinux context. This says to me that, during the first run, Puppet checked the SELinux context and saw that it matched checked the file content and saw that it was wrong created a new file that inadvertently had the wrong context It seems to me that Puppet should have double-checked, after applying the new file, that all of the attributes were still correct. I would be very disappointed if, for example, it created a file but left the ownership or permissions set to whatever the default happened to be. Is this a Puppet bug, or a mistake in my class definition, or a misunderstanding on my part?
