Puppet users - Sep 2008 - Type nfs_share changes exported folder/file ownership

I''ve used the nfs_share type to export NFS shares on server A:

    nfs_share { "":
         shares => ["/path/to/share/",
                    "/path/to/another/share/"],
         share_access => "server.example.com"
     }

The /etc/exports file on server A look like this:

    /path/to/share    server.example.com(rw,sync)
    /path/to/another/share    server.example.com(rw,sync)

When running Puppet, I see that the ownership of these folders are
changed to root, even though they owned by another user. Is this a bug/
feature in Puppet, or is this maybe normal NFS export behavior? I
haven''t found info in the NFS manual describing this behavior, so
I''m
thinking this may be a puppet thing.

Kenneth Holter

I''m not familiar with the nfs_share type, but if permissions/ownership
aren''t specified, they default to whatever Puppet is running as (which
is generally root).
