Puppet common misconceptions wiki page.
After stumbling merrily into the ''node inheritance variable override'' problem last night (see ''RFC: Changing variable override'' thread for more info), it occurred to me that it would be useful to have a page in the Wiki to describe common misconceptions of the way that the puppet language and system works. Are folk happy for this to be a separate page, or should I extend the FAQ? Title suggestion ''CommonMisconceptions''? Regards, mike

validates :boolean_field, presence: true misconceptions
...ean_field returning not valid when the boolean field is false. I checked the rails issues and this seems to be a pretty common concern about the naming of ''presence'' . Instead of changing the behaviour of the presence validator, I was wondering if maybe the answer to avoid such misconceptions could be to create a new validator called presence_of_boolean that abstracts the sometimes called "hacky" validates_inclusion in: [true, false] What do you guys think?

misconception in uid and gid
Hi, I'm using a SQL database to store the usernames and passwords of my users. However, I have found that I must explicitly return the uid and gid with every query, even though all virtual users use the same uid and gid. The query, that works, is: user_query = SELECT mail, 'vmail' AS uid, 'vmail' AS gid, home, CONCAT('*:storage=', quota_MB*1024) AS quota_rule \

I too have been rather dismayed at the perceived increase in frequency with which I must reboot my servers.

Replicate Samba3 to Samba4
Hi, Is it possible to replicate any major versions of Samba? As I don't know if there are major improvements/news on the trust relationship with Samba AD to Windows AD. Currently our setup is Samba3 DC with trust with Windows AD, i used to able to upgrade it on the dummy environment to Samba AD, but again the trust seems not working or maybe I missed something on my configurations.

problems using effects.morph && effect.appear
Hi, i wrote a sliding navigation using effect.morph and effect.appear. I don''t know why but there are a couple of problems: 1. effect.appear seems not to work in IE6 2. The effects aren''t really "smooth". 3. When using effect appear. The new element triggers onmouseover the onmouseout function.... It''s a small script: www.rhizom.nl/volkan/scriptalicous

Multiple mount points without dynamic reencoding
Hi, I'll skip the ices0 part of the email as I don't know that software. I only dealt with ices2 in that respect. So that is question is left to be answered by someone else (though I'm not sure if it will still apply). And here we arrive also at the most likely source of an underlying misconception: You do not have to have the same codec for the files as for the resulting stream! There are plenty source clients that will happily take almost any file format and codec in and encode it into a nice ogg/vorbis stream. (Random examples: mpd, rpld, liquidsoap,...) Also today's CPUs will happi...

Honestly, you are mixing unrelated, or not relevant topics and arguments, and even misconceptions and forget to understand the problem at all. When done intentionally, its just a flashbang approach and this doesn't contribute to clarify the actual new reality. -- Leon

Stata files
...seems it only allows for versions up to Stata 10. I don't know Stata at all but a bit of poking around on their website led me to believe Stata 11 couldn't write in Stata 10 format. However Stata 11 can write Excel files in XML, so presumably .xlsx files. Any advice, correction of my misconceptions, etc. gladly received.

Hopefully, this will put a final end to any misconceptions as to the depth of my remorse for having said that Francis is shady or desperate for cash. My heart felt apologies. Zed

Parallel dialoog with different Alert-Info headers
...rview.html that is not in > PJSIP. I hear you... you're not the first person that's told me that. It's one of the top reasons I hear for staying on chan_sip. Unfortunately, the author of those patches hasn't expressed interest in porting the functionality to PJSIP due to some misconceptions about PJSIP development. Some of it I might take a stab at to allow some of my users to move over, but not until outstanding patches have cleared; I have some of these phones but don't really use them, so it's lower on my priority list.

how to derive true surface area from `computeContour3d' (misc3d package) -- follow up
regarding my previous mail for this topic, I have in the meantime identified my misconception. actually, `computeContour3d' returns the vertices just fine in the correct coordinate frame. the misconception was caused basically by assuming that the `level' argument was a fractional threshold relative to the maximum of the array. so I believed that the rendered cube actual...
