You dont rely on your SCM to define ownership. That is explicitly defined

nobody) and its placed on the server with the proper mode and ownership.
file { /tmp/myfile:
owner = 'user',
group = 'user',
mode = '0600',
source =

Thanks for the replies!
While I don't like the idea of reaching in to a class to set its
variables, given the design flaws in Puppet with parameterized classes, I
