Bug #3957: Bug in truncated PATH statement in cached server YAML file on
puppet master
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3957
Author: James Turnbull

Affected version: 0.25.4

Branch:
I found a bug that will happen if the 256th character of your PATH is
a colon. My PATH statement happened to be over 256 characters long so
puppet truncated it to 256 characters. My work around is to make sure
I shorten the path, but it would be nice if puppet would make sure it
doesn't end the PATH with a colon when it gets truncated.
Original PATH statement on server:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/
bin:/opt/quest/bin:/opt/openmail/bin:/opt/openmail/diag:/usr/games:/
sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/netscape:/usr/local/sec:/home/
myid/bin:/opt/openmail/bin:/opt/openmail/diag:/usr/games:/sbin:/usr/
sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/netscape
PATH statement in YAML file
$ grep path /var/puppet/yaml/node/servername.yaml
path: /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/
usr/local/bin:/opt/quest/bin:/opt/openmail/bin:/opt/openmail/diag:/usr/
games:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/netscape:/usr/local/
