D'oh! That's what I get for overcomplicating the whole darn thing. :)
Incidentally one nice trick if you're dealing with potentially changing multiple booleans and the policy compile time is to either skip -P and understand it's not persistent so puppet needs to fix at boot, or passing multiple booleans to setsebool at the same time so the compile only happens once.
Huh. Stacking setsebool has a lot of potential. I should add remedial man-page reading to my list of tasks.
I'm of the camp that systems should come up in a ready state, regardless of the immediate availability of puppet. So, using puppet to push SELinux changes without committing to on-disk policy alarms me.
I'm not sure I entirely understand this discussion. Isn't this what puppet does by default with selboolean?

Here you see it checking the value, deciding it's wrong, then setting it.
# puppet resource selboolean httpd_can_network_connect value=on persistent=true --debug Debug: Runtime environment: puppet_version=3.8.6, ruby_version=2.0.0, run_mode=user, default_encoding=UTF-8 Debug: Loaded state in 0.15 seconds Debug: Selboolean[httpd_can_network_connect](provider=getsetsebool): Retrieving value of selboolean httpd_can_network_connect Debug: Executing '/usr/sbin/getsebool httpd_can_network_connect' Debug: Finishing transaction 18309580 Debug: Storing state Debug: Stored state in 0.18 seconds Debug: Selboolean[httpd_can_network_connect](provider=getsetsebool): Retrieving value of selboolean httpd_can_network_connect Debug: Executing '/usr/sbin/getsebool httpd_can_network_connect' selboolean { 'httpd_can_network_connect': value => 'on', }
Here it checks it, then leaves it alone as it's correct.
What am I missing?
