Issue #4192 has been updated by Todd Zullinger.
For reference, we talked about this a little on puppet-dev a while back, as we didn't want the 1777 perms in the Fedora/EPEL packages. http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-dev/browse_thread/thread/d75819c3f4f7f37c/ Thinking about this a little more, would it be reasonable to make an install option to enable/disable this? That way it would be easier for packagers and other folks building from source to get the desired behaviour without each of us patching defaults.rb. ---------------------------------------- Bug #4192: Puppet changes permissions on /var/run, causing security spam every night from OpenBSD http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4192 Author: Joe McDonagh Status: Investigating Priority: Normal Assigned to: Matt Robinson Category: Target version: Statler Affected version: 0.25.4 Keywords: Branch: Puppet wants /var/run to be mod 1777 on OpenBSD, but it's mod 755: <pre> debug: /File[/var/run]: Changing mode debug: /File[/var/run]: 1 change(s) debug: /File[/var/run]/mode: mode changed '755' to '1777' </pre> I'm not really certain why puppet cares about that folder's permissions. Someone on IRC claimed this didn't happen on Linux, however on my Linux boxes my /var/run is mod 1777. The end result of this is that the security reports from OpenBSD come in every night, when they should only be coming in when there is a security problem. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
