Issue #8192 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.

Assignee changed from Nigel Kersten to Josh Cooper

So this isn't a problem in the latest version 2.7.x, only in older versions?

If that's the case, we're not going to fix it in the legacy versions unless 
there's a clear and simple backport, which I don't believe is the case Josh?

I'm happy for you to make that call about whether there's an easy backport we 
can apply to the last version of 2.6.x we're going to cut.

Bug #8192: puppet breaking setuid bit on group change
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8192

Author: Jan-Frode Myklebust
Status: Needs Decision
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Josh Cooper

Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 


We have a puppet module that's trying to manage owner, group
and setuid bit on /bin/nice:

        file { "/bin/nice":
                owner   => root,
                group   => root,
                mode    => 6555,
        }

If the mode is correct, but group is wrong, puppet will fix the
group and lose the setuid bit:

        # chgrp bin /bin/nice
        # chmod 6555 /bin/nice
        # ls -l /bin/nice
        -r-sr-sr-x 1 root bin 23424 Jan 26 17:12 /bin/nice
        # pkill -USR1 puppet

        Jun 29 22:26:29 xsp4 puppetd[21024]: Caught USR1; calling reload
        Jun 29 22:26:32 xsp4 puppetd[21024]: 
(/Stage[main]/SomeSystem::Nice/File[/bin/nice]/group) group changed 'bin' to 
'root'
        Jun 29 22:26:33 xsp4 puppetd[21024]: Finished catalog run in 1.86 
seconds

        # ls -l /bin/nice
        -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 23424 Jan 26 17:12 /bin/nice

And puppet then needs a second run to fix the setuid bit:

        # pkill -USR1 puppet

        Jun 29 22:26:44 xsp4 puppetd[21024]: 
(/Stage[main]/SomeSystem::Nice/File[/bin/nice]/mode) mode changed '555' to 
'6555'

        # ls -l /bin/nice
        -r-sr-sr-x 1 root root 23424 Jan 26 17:12 /bin/nice


This has only been tested on v0.25.4 on RHEL5.
