Hello, I can not speak to whether or not changing the permissions to rwxr-xr-x without any adverse affects to the puppetserver process, but I think I spotted a possible solution.
Does the file permissions show a period ( a dot . ) at the end of the permissions list, like this? # ls -l /etc/somefile -rw-r-----. 1 root root 27 Jun 4 19:29 /etc/somefile If so then your linux filesystem appears to support extended attributes and Access Control Lists and you can set ACLs, on a per file or per directory basis. https://superuser.com/questions/230559/what-does-the-dot-mean-at-the-end-of-rw-r-r-how-do-you-set-it-with-chmod https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Access_Control_Lists In this example I am giving a nonpriv user read access to a file that is 640 via the ACL: [root@centos7 etc]# ls -l /etc/somefile -rw-r-----. 1 root root 27 Jun 4 19:29 /etc/somefile [root@centos7 etc]# setfacl -m u:nonprivuser:r /etc/somefile [root@centos7 etc]# getfacl somefile # file: somefile # owner: root # group: root user::rw- user:nonprivuser:r-- group::r-- mask::r-- other::--- Regards, James On Tue, Jun 4, 2019 at 1:59 PM Peter Krawetzky <[email protected]> wrote: > I want to be able to ingest the puppet servers logs into splunk but the > owner of the directory is puppet:puppet and the permissions are > /var/log/puppetlabs/puppet rwxr-x---.
