Issue #14857 has been updated by Bram Mertens.
Hi, I agree that puppet shouldn't alter the ownership of files "just anywhere" on the file system but it should change the ownership in the user's home directory. On my fedora 17 system running version 2.7.18 changing the user ID and group ID of one of my test accounts the group ownership was not modified when puppet changed the UID and GID of an account.

Puppet comes along and changes that's group's gid (as well as the uid for the user). However all the files and directories that had that group do not get updated with the new gid (as an aside the uid does seem to get changed). I would think a gid id change for a group should result in something similar as a uid change for a user. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
