The reason the other deltas aren't applied to *foo.example.com* is because a **.H_** delta is more specific than a **.G##_** delta. Bcfg2 applies all the deltas at the most specific level. -Info files -========== - -By default, Cfg writes files to the filesystem with owner *root*, group -*root*, and mode *644* (read and write for owner, read only for group -and other). These options, and a few others, can be overridden through -use of ``:info`` or ``info`` files. Each config file directory can have -a ``:info`` or ``info`` file if needed. The possible fields in an info -file are: - -+-----------+-------------------+------------------------------------------------------+---------+ -| Field | Possible values | Description | Default | -+===========+===================+======================================================+=========+ -| owner: | Any valid user | Sets owner of the file | root | -+-----------+-------------------+------------------------------------------------------+---------+ -| group: | Any valid group | Sets group of the file | root | -+-----------+-------------------+------------------------------------------------------+---------+ -| perms: | Numeric file mode | Sets the permissions of the file | 0644 | -+-----------+-------------------+------------------------------------------------------+---------+ -| encoding: | ascii | base64 | Encoding of the file.

These files are XML, and work similarly -to those used by :ref:`Rules <server-plugins-generators-rules>` or -:ref:`Pkgmgr <server-plugins-generators-pkgmgr>`. - -The following specifies a different global set of permissions -(root/sys/0651) than on clients in group webserver (root/root/0652) - -.. code-block:: xml +File permissions +================ - <FileInfo> - <Group name='webserver'> - <Info owner='root' group='root' perms='0652'/> - </Group> - <Info owner='root' group='sys' perms='0651'/> - </FileInfo> +File permissions for entries handled by Cfg are controlled via the use +of :ref:`server-info` files. Note that you **cannot** use both a +Permissions entry and a Path entry to handle the same file. |
