Good point there. I wonder if using a module that does "file concatenation" could be a good method. one would need to have a define for each format of header to include and could include a file by calling the appropriate define. I'm not sure but it could make overwriting file resources a lot more complicated... -- Gabriel Filion -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
