Hi, I''ve just turned email reporting on for my Puppet installation, and discovered that I''m receiving intermittent failures on files being copied from the file server. Puppet is running every 30 seconds, but I''m getting these errors maybe 12 times in 24 hours. Any thoughts on the significance of this? The error message is a bit opaque for me.

If you search through the archives of this mailing list, you should find more information on that specific error.

Try switching to Mongrel (see the UsingMongrel page on the wiki). -- My favorite was a professor at a University I Used To Be Associated With who claimed that our requirement of a non-alphabetic character in our passwords was an abridgement of his freedom of speech. -- Jacob Haller --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com

I searched the open bugs, but not the mailing list archives. Is this something that would be worth reporting there? Sorry for noise, Alex
