Hi,
Here is an interesting problem. Right after a host called "foo" is
built, just
before the first puppet run, the /etc/hosts file contains the following entry:
1.2.3.4 foo
However, in order to match the information that is in DNS, I want the line to
look like this:
1.2.3.4 somedomain.com foo.colo.domain foo
Let''s try to keep aside the discussion of whether that is actually a
sane thing
to do, I''m still just experimenting. Let''s focus on what may
be necessary to
make puppet replace the existing line with what I want there to be. I added
something like this to the manifest:
host { foo: ensure => absent }
host { "somedomain.com":
ip => "1.2.3.4",
alias => [ "foo.colo.domain", "foo" ]
}
However, surprisingly (or maybe not), what I get is just an early failure:
Host[somedomain.com] is already being managed
I guess this is because of the dual purpose of "alias"
param/metaparam.
Is this a bug? Is it possible to make puppet do what I want it to do, without
just doing file { "/etc/hosts": ... }?

I don''t think there''s really a solution to this right now if you require that the longer name be the first name in /etc/hosts. -- Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom. -- Albert Einstein --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
