If you do not specify owner/group/mode and you don't have a global default and the file needs to be created, it will be created with owner/group/mode of the source file. This can of course fail if the agent is not run as root. FWIW there was a discussion about the current behaviour quite a while ago, but the last comment is over a year old now: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5240 -Stefan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
