Unfortunately I recently upgraded to 2.2.2 (from 2.2.1) which literally
trashed about 10 of our system before I figured out what happened!
Apparently something is broken in 2.2.2 that causes problems with the copy
commands like this:
copy:
myserver::
$(hostmasterfiles)/etc dest=/etc/ r=inf
mode=600 owner=root group=root
type=checksum
What "used to" simply copy all of my files from my
"$(hostmasterfiles)/etc" directory to my /etc/ directory and change all of
the "files" permissions to 600, now screws up the /etc directory
permissions. It changes them to 700. Even though, in the cfengine manual
it specifically says:
A value of r=inf implies unlimited recursion. Cfengine then descends
into all subdirectories checking or setting the permissions of files
until it `bottoms out' at a plain file.
Key words here are "descends into all subdirectories...." not parent
directory which it is somehow doing now.
:(
Please fix as soon as possible...
