While reading about schedules, I saw:
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#resources
To check I''m reading this right, if I had the following in my site.pp:
resources { file
purge => true
}
Would puppet then attempt to purge every single file that it did not
have an explicit file resource for? Including files installed by package
resources?

I''m not sure which types are supported by "resources" right now, but I''m pretty sure "file" isn''t among them.

It works great with user, group, things like that, though. -- Most people are born and years later die without really having lived at all.
