file owner and cfengine-3.0.0b9

I am using cfengine version 3.0.0b9 on a RHEL5 x86 system.

 

I started off using examples provided in the 3.0 documentation, however,
I have ran into issues with changing file ownership.  If I create a
files section and specify an owner for a file, cfengine does not change
the ownership of the file.

 

Here is a streamlined promises.cf that I used for testing:

 

body common control

{

bundlesequence  => {

                   "main"

                   };

}

#######################################################

 

body runagent control

{

hosts => { "127.0.0.1:5308" };

}

#########################################################

bundle agent main

{

files:

  "/tmp/foo" perms        => p("root","0700");

}

#########################################################

body perms p(user,mode)

{

owners => { "$(user)" };

mode   => "$(mode)";

}

 

Here is the relevant section of verbose output from cfagent:

 

 

cf3    =========================================================

cf3    files in bundle main

cf3    =========================================================

cf3

cf3

cf3     .........................................................

cf3         /tmp/foo

cf3     .........................................................

cf3

cf3  -> Using file literal base path /tmp/foo

cf3  -> File permissions on /tmp/foo as promised

cf3 Nothing promised for [files.perms.owners.mode.._tmp_foo] (0/1
minutes elapsed)

 

 

Thanks,
