Hello, I''m pretty new to using puppet, I have an idea for what I think I want, but I''m pretty sure it''s not possible. So, if not, I''m looking for other approaches. I''m writing a module for tripwire. Tripwire takes a plaintext policy file, encrypts it and adds it to a database on the system. If the policy is updated it can run a command to redo the encryption. All that is easy with a file resource and some execs. But, for security, it is recommended to remove the plaintext policy file after encrypting. I can''t see any reasonable way to do this. The best I can think of is to have the exec script fetch the file and then remove it when its done, but that will cause the update to run on every puppet run. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
