Puppet users - Feb 2013 - recursive file management and setgid directory modes

I want to recursively set the mode of files in a directory to
''0750'' but
set the permissions of the directory itself to ''2750''. I
cannot figure out
a way to accomplish this. Is it possible?

The File resource type does not support it, but you can accomplish it via 
an Exec.  Note also that recursive file management is usually better 
avoided.  If there are too many files to enumerate easily then you would 
probably be better off building a package of them (i.e. an .rpm / .deb / 
whatever) and managing them as a group via the Package resource type.
