Info
====
Various file properties for entries served by the :ref:`Cfg
<server-plugins-generators-cfg>`, :ref:`TGenshi
<server-plugins-generators-tgenshi-index>`, :ref:`TCheetah
<server-plugins-generators-tcheetah>`, and :ref:`SSHbase
<server-plugins-generators-sshbase>` plugins are controlled through
the use of ``:info``, ``info``, or ``info.xml`` files.
By default, these plugins are set to write 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 |
+============+===================+==================================+=========+
| encoding: | ascii | base64 | Encoding of the file. Use | ascii |
| | | base64 for binary files | |
+------------+-------------------+----------------------------------+---------+
| group: | Any valid group | Sets group of the file | root |
+------------+-------------------+----------------------------------+---------+
| important: | true | false | Important entries are | false |
| | | installed first during client | |
| | | execution | |
+------------+-------------------+----------------------------------+---------+
| owner: | Any valid user | Sets owner of the file | root |
+------------+-------------------+----------------------------------+---------+
| paranoid: | true | false | Backup file before replacement? | false |
+------------+-------------------+----------------------------------+---------+
| perms: | Numeric file mode | Sets the permissions of the file | 0644 |
| | | 'inherit' | (or inherits from the files on | |
| | | disk if set to inherit) | |
+------------+-------------------+----------------------------------+---------+
| sensitive: | true | false | The contents of sensitive | false |
| | | entries aren't included in | |
| | | reports | |
+------------+-------------------+----------------------------------+---------+
A sample info file for CGI script on a web server might look like::
owner: www
group: www
perms: 0755
Back to the fstab example again, our final ``Cfg/etc/fstab/`` directory
might look like::
:info
fstab
fstab.G50_server
fstab.G99_fileserver
fstab.H_host.example.com
Important attribute
===================
.. versionadded:: 1.1.0
Having important entries hardcoded into the various client tools has
worked relatively well so far. However, this method allows for a bit
more flexibility as the entries can be controlled via the configuration
specification.
+------------+-------------------+----------------------------------+---------+
| Field | Possible values | Description | Default |
+============+===================+==================================+=========+
| important: | true | false | Important entries are | root |
| | | installed first during client | |
| | | execution | |
+------------+-------------------+----------------------------------+---------+
.. _server-info-info-xml:
info.xml files
==============
``info.xml`` files add the ability to specify different sets of file
metadata on a group by group or host by host basis, or by path (for
files using :ref:`altsrc <server-plugins-structures-altsrc>`). 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 or named
"foo.example.com" (root/root/0652)::
<FileInfo>
<Client name='foo.example.com'>
<Info owner='root' group='root' perms='0652'/>
</Client>
<Group name='webserver'>
<Info owner='root' group='root' perms='0652'/>
</Group>
<Info owner='root' group='sys' perms='0651'/>
</FileInfo>
.. versionadded:: 1.2.0
You can also use the ``<Path>`` directive to specify a different set
of permissions depending on the path of the file::
<FileInfo>
<Path name="/etc/bcfg2-web.conf">
<Info owner="root" group="apache" perms="0640"/>
</Path>
<Path name="/etc/bcfg2-web.conf" negate="true">
<Info owner="root" group="root" perms="0600"/>
</Path>
</FileInfo>
