Commits merged in [653895b1](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/653895b13531e4dcffd1cef4cdba589382ff3a77), [2572d9b5](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/2572d9b5ad19d5) and [2de376a](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/2de376a). These commits add a new file parameter, `source_permissions` for specifying how owner, group, and/or mode are applied to the file resource from its `source`. It applies to both local and remote file sources. * The default is `use`, which is puppet's current behavior. This behavior is deprecated on windows and will be changed to `ignore` in a future release, e.g. Puppet 4. * The value `use_when_creating` will only copy owner/group/mode when creating the file, but not when managing an existing file/dir * The value `ignore` will prevent puppet from applying owner/group/mode from the source. ---------------------------------------- Feature #18931: Don't set mode on existing Windows folders when none is specified https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18931#change-100171 * Author: Nick Chappell * Status: Merged - Pending Release * Priority: High * Assignee: Kylo Ginsberg * Category: file * Target version: 3.4.0 * Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6 * Keywords: windows customer * Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/2087 ---------------------------------------- Current behavior: If a folder resource is declared with a source => parameter but no mode specified, the mode of the source folder on the master is applied to it. On Windows, this means that the mode is converted from POSIX to an equivalent set of Windows file permissions, which can break existing ACLs and inheritance. Desired behavior: If a folder already exists on the node and is merely having files placed in it by Puppet, the mode shouldn't be changed if none is specified in the manifest. A more complete solution would be the ability to specify NTFS ACLs directly, but this should alleviate problems caused by unexpected behavior in the mean time. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
