Puppet users - Sep 2010 - Easiest way to create named pipes?

Can the puppet file type create named pipes (fifo''s)? This
doesn''t seem
to be an option for the "ensure" parameter, but there''s also
a "type"
parameter, though the docs describe it as "A read-only state to check
the file type"; not sure what that''s for?

Or do I need to use mkfifo in an exec?

Pretty sure you need to mkfifo in an exec.
