Hello, I have two problems with file distribution: 1. A whole directory tree to copy from puppet-fileserver to a puppet- managed system, all files need the same permissions, let''s assume 640. The problem is that if I''ll use recursive, and set 640, then the same will apply to directories - which is useless, as even the owner will not be able to browse through dirs. How to solve that? Some special function or sth? 2. A single directory with 10s of files, which all need to be copied, but only a handsome need to be executable (+x). How to do this?

One quick minor warning: If this directory tree is large, do NOT use puppet
to manage it. Puppet is VERY slow at recursively setting file
permissions/attributes, and you''d be better off just using exec {
"chmod -R
755"} or something.

Thank you for your answers.
