Puppet users - Jun 2011 - Can no longer sync files with Puppet

Hello All,
  I''m just starting with puppet and I''ve run into an issue I
cannot
figure out. I''m trying to sync the home directory for a user from a
home directory stored on my puppet server. Here is my manifest code:


        user { "public":
                ensure     => present,
                shell      => ''/bin/bash'',
                home       => ''/home/public'',
                managehome => true,
                password => ''chestnut'',
        }

        file { "public-home":
                path    => ''/home/public'',
                ensure  => directory,
                owner   => ''public'',
                group   => ''public'',
                recurse => true,
                replace => true,
                purge   => true,
                ignore  => ''.git'',
                source  =>
''puppet:///files/users/home/public'',
                require => User[''public''],
        }

The files are stored in /etc/puppet/files/users/home/public

What is really strange is that it was working fine, except that it
appeared that the replace and purge options were not working. Then,
after a few test runs, I started seeing this error:

err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Error 400 on SERVER:
Not authorized to call find on /file_metadata/files/users/home/public
at /etc/puppet/manifests/public-base.pp:58

Any ideas? I tried chmod''ing the files directory on the server to 777,
but that did not help. I''ve moved the file around a few times trying
different things without success. If I comment out the file section,
my catalog runs just fine.

Thanks,
Kyle

I think I solved my problem. I changed my fileserver.conf from:

# This file consists of arbitrarily named sections/modules
# defining where files are served from and to whom

# Define a section ''files''
# Adapt the allow/deny settings to your needs. Order
# for allow/deny does not matter, allow always takes precedence
# over deny
[files]
  path /etc/puppet/files
#  allow *.example.com
#  deny *.evil.example.com
#  allow 192.168.0.0/24

[plugins]
#  allow *.example.com
#  deny *.evil.example.com
#  allow 192.168.0.0/24

to

# This file consists of arbitrarily named sections/modules
# defining where files are served from and to whom

# Define a section ''files''
# Adapt the allow/deny settings to your needs. Order

[files]
  path /etc/puppet/files
  allow *
#  allow *.example.com
#  deny *.evil.example.com
#  allow 192.168.0.0/24

[modules]
  allow *

[plugins]
  allow *
#  allow *.example.com
#  deny *.evil.example.com
#  allow 192.168.0.0/24

and now everything works! I still have no idea why this error starting
appearing.
