Issue #22051 has been updated by Dustin Mitchell. Status changed from Unreviewed to Duplicate
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc982153.aspx (Understanding Windows File And Registry Permissions) says that the primary group is only used for POSIX compatibility, which is why it's pretty difficult to see with any normal Windows tools. So Windows gives you enough space to create permissions equivalent to any combination of POSIX user/group/mode, but that mapping is not 1:1 nor even onto. Multiple (equivalent) POSIX u/g/m combinations can map to the same security descriptor. And this bug is an example of such. So, basically, we need #13249. ---------------------------------------- Bug #22051: Windows mode bits are not handled symmetrically https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22051#change-96264 * Author: Dustin Mitchell * Status: Duplicate * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- As far as I can tell, Windows mode bits are read as CCE, where C is the creator/owner perms, and E is the everyone perms. So a file that's rwx for creator/owner but with no perms for anyone else would appear to puppet as 770. If you have permissions bits with different user and group triplets, Puppet resets the permissions on every run. For example, file { 'c:/foo.txt': mode => 0644; } will change the mode from 0664 to 0644 on every run. It seems like some folding of bits in the provider could work around this pretty easily. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
