Re: Setting ownership of home directories

[Atom Powers]

Mark,

This is great, except that my list is too large; and the max size
seems to be hard-coded.

####
control:
        users = ExecResult(/bin/ls -C /usr/home/ | /usr/bin/perl -pe
's/(\w+)\W+/\1:/g')
####

Results in:
####
cfengine:: Buffer exceeded 1024 bytes in exec
####
