Hi, this puppet.conf (excerpted): [main] logdir=/var/log/puppet { owner = ffrank, mode = 755 } is supposed to change the owner of the logdir but won''t: # puppet master --no-daemonize --color false --masterport 8145 --pidfile=/var/run/puppet/master.debug.pid /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/util/settings/file_setting.rb:33:in `owner='': Internal error: The :owner setting for The Puppet log directory.: logdir: $vardir/log must be either ''root'' or ''service'', not ''ffrank'' (Puppet::Util::Settings::FileSetting::SettingError) Quoting my user name leads to a parse error. The proposed "service" setting will do me no good - I''d like to specify a distinct user (or rather, a group, but that''s apparently the same scenario) owning the logdir, not the puppet user. (Same goes for reportdir.) Is this possible at all? Thanks in advance, Felix -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
