Thanks Josh. Unfortunately I have had zero time to dedicate to this. 

Tbh if I could just model the dacl plus control the inheritance of dacl from 
parent that would be enough. 

I did start to write an ntfsfile class but wanted to keep all of the existing 
file class functionality except setting user, group, and mode so started by 
copying all the related ruby for that. . Thats a pretty complicated type and 
provider and a combination of this being my first Puppet development plus not 
knowing Ruby made it tough going. 
The plan was to have a string property which was a JSON representation of a 
dacl which got munged into a combination of arrays and hashes plus an inherit 
property. I wrote the code to then set the dacl on the file based upon the 
arrays etc. This worked but was v hacky and was based upon a hard coded array 
(not yet written the validate and munge methods!)
Overall I'm not sure how good quality I could make this. 

So..., are we likely to see any progress on the ticket for Puppetlabs to 
release an official version for this? 
Would it help speed things up if a request came from a PE customer (with 1500 
node licence)?
