Hi everyone,
we just found out that when invoking puppet with sudo on
redhat/centos (with no magic bash_completion), some providers don''t get
recognized due to missing absolute path for the provider''s command.
for example:
useradd has in /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/user/useradd.rb:
commands :add => "useradd", :delete => "userdel",
:modify => "usermod"
it doesn''t work if pupet invoked via sudo
whereas chkconfig in
/usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/service/redhat.rb:
commands :chkconfig => "/sbin/chkconfig"
works...
would it be possible to add absolute paths for the providers definitions?
cheers,
Massimo

Eg: sudo env PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin puppetd ...

Basically, we don''t always know the path on the destination system, so we can''t manually set them. It''s also easy enough to configure your sudo binary to have a reasonable path -- just set your sudoers file up correctly. -- I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn''t learn something from him. --Galileo Galilei --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com
