Jira (PUP-1742) Specifying mode in puppet.conf creates incorrect file permissions

[Andrew Parker (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Andrew Parker created an issue   Puppet / PUP-1742 Specifying mode in puppet.conf creates incorrect file permissions Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.3.0 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 20/Feb/14 3:44 PM Priority: Major Reporter: Andrew Parker I've tested as far back as 3.1.0, but I suspect that we've had this wrong since 2.6. Joshua Cooper tracked the problem down to a commit (b268fb3d4c) for redmine issue #7144. Unfortunately the change caused it to interpret a mode string as a decimal. This means that a mode of "0644" results in an actually applied mode of "0204". To reproduce Create a puppet.conf that contains: signeddir = $cadir/signed { mode = 0644 } Delete the ssldir: rm -rf `puppet config print ssldir --section master` Run the master puppet master --no-daemonize --debug The master will error with: Error: Could not run: Permission denied - /Users/andy/.puppet/ssl/ca/signed/aparker.corp.puppetlabs.net.pem And a look at that directory will show the incorrect permissions: > ls -l /Users/andy/.puppet/ssl/ca/signed/aparker.corp.puppetlabs.net.pem --w----r-- 1 andy staff 2090 Feb 20 15:43 /Users/andy/.puppet/ssl/ca/signed/aparker.corp.puppetlabs.net.pem Expected The permissions on the created file should be 0644 Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159-sha1:44eaede) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
