Greetings, I have the global file defaults set up: site.pp File { owner => "root", group => "root", mode => 0644, } In general this works well. I do have a node with numerous file resources that do not conform to the above defaults. Is there an elegant way to say something like: server.pp node server { file { "/some/file/with/above/defaults-01.txt": source => ... } file { "/some/file/with/above/defaults-02.txt": source => ... } . . . file { "/some/file/with/above/defaults-N.txt": source => ... } # CHANGE SCOPE { File { owner => "gitolite", group => "gitolite", mode => 0640, } file { "/gitolite/file-01.txt": source => ... } file { "/gitolite/file-02.txt": source => ... } file { "/gitolite/file-N.txt": source => ... } } # END OF SCOPE CHANGE } Thanks for the help! -mz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
