Thanks, that solves the problem I posted however there were several situations where I would like to be able to upload a file and after that not care about it.
Another example I was wrestling with was uploading a tar.gz then allowing it to be removed afterwards. I want it uploaded so that I can deploy the contents but once it's there I would like puppet (or some admin) to clean it up later. Is it possible then I should be running an exec to copy the file from the server and use the unless (file exists already)? thanks Paul On Tuesday, October 9, 2012 9:27:05 AM UTC+4, Pete wrote: > > Hi, > > The best way to do that is to modify the system skeleton files and > make sure useradd is using them. > They get put in user homedirs when the account gets created. > > On 9 October 2012 15:19, pdurkin <pdur...@gmail.com <javascript:>> wrote: > > I've been looking around but can't seem to find an answer to this. > > > > I would like to create a file whose initial contents come from the > default > > in the puppet server but is subsequently modifiable and puppet won't > > overwrite any changes. > > > > The reason for this is that if I deploy a user account via puppet and > upload > > a default .bashrc/.profile, the user should be able to modify these > without > > having puppet change them back to the originals every time it runs. > > > > Thanks > > > > Paul > > > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups > > "Puppet Users" group. > > To view this discussion on the web visit > > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/puppet-users/-/MNccQWibusoJ. > > To post to this group, send email to > > puppet...@googlegroups.com<javascript:>. > > > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > > puppet-users...@googlegroups.com <javascript:>. > > For more options, visit this group at > > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
