Issue #17371 has been updated by Greg Sutcliffe.
I'm seeing this too, but even just using "mode" doesn't work: root# grep autosign /etc/puppet/puppet.conf autosign = /etc/puppet/autosign.conf { mode = 664 } root@foreman:~# puppet master -v -o --no-daemonize -d|grep sign Debug: Using settings: adding file resource 'autosign': 'File[/etc/puppet/autosign.conf]{:ensure=>:file, :backup=>false, :loglevel=>:debug, :mode=>"644", :path=>"/etc/puppet/autosign.conf", :links=>:follow}' It's definitely ignoring the setting. OS is Debian Squeeze, Ruby 1.8.7, Puppet 3.0.1 ---------------------------------------- Bug #17371: Setting owner, group, mode for files specified in puppet.conf no longer seems to work https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17371#change-76198 Author: Andreas Ntaflos Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 3.0.1 Keywords: Branch: It seems that setting owner, group and mode for files in puppet.conf by using the following method, as explained in the configuration guide, no longer works in Puppet 3.0 (using Puppet 3.0.1 here on Ubuntu 12.04): /etc/puppet/puppet.conf: [master] ... autosign = /etc/puppet/autosign.conf { owner = puppet, group = puppet, mode = 0664 } The settings specified in the curly braces do not get applied to the file. Instead, after changing the mode manually (`chmod 0664 /etc/puppet/autosign.conf`) it is reset to 0644 after a request to the puppetmaster comes in. Interestingly it seems that when manually changing the owner of the file it stays changed, even after a request comes in that triggers the manually changed mode to be reset. And as nfagerlund observed on IRC it seems that specifying an owner keeps the mode setting from working. Setting a mode alone, i.e. `autosign = /etc/puppet/autosign.conf { mode = 0664 }` works. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
