Issue #2902 has been updated by Michael Renner.
I think the most required feature would be the immutable flag. My use case would be a file that should be managed by puppet where we prevent other processes from modify the file even if they're root (unless they remove the immutable flag themselves). Case in point would be the vzctl postinstall script courtesy of OpenVZ: http://git.openvz.org/?p=vzctl;a=blob;f=scripts/vz-postinstall.in;h=2afa5c539107ad40ff880030597fc6c6a54b052e;hb=HEAD ---------------------------------------- Feature #2902: Check for immutable files managed by Puppet https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2902#change-97159 * Author: Brad Fowler * Status: Accepted * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: file * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 0.25.1 * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- Puppet should be able to override files it manages that are made immutable with chattr/chflags, perhaps by updating the File resource and determining what environment it's being run on. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
