Functions are executed when a catalog is being compiled, but there is no guarantee that the host compiling a catalog is also the same host that will serve up file content and metadata. In multiple-master configurations the fileserver puppet master processes are often running on different hosts than the catalog compiler puppet master processes. What problem are you trying to solve? Perhaps there is another approach that does not require translating Puppet URI's to real paths. -Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
