Eric Sorenson commented on an issue   Re: Puppet creates directory with 0755 mode when i used 0644 mode in the the manifest This is expected behaviour and is documented in the file type. https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/type.html#file-attribute-mode {blockquote} Numeric modes should use the standard four-digit octal notation of <setuid/setgid/sticky><owner><group><other> (e.g. 0644). Each of the “owner,” “group,” and “other” digits should be a sum of the permissions for that class of users, where read = 4, write = 2, and execute/search = 1. When setting numeric permissions for directories, Puppet sets the search permission wherever the read permission is set.{blockquote} Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-3051 Puppet creates directory with 0755 mode when i used 0644 mode in the the manifest I run the manifest with following things.       file {'/tmp/temp-dir':         ensure => directory,         mode => 0644, } After i list the directory with "ls -al /tmp/temp-dir" it show the permission of 0755.
