Hi. I posted this question on the RedHat Network mailing list, but not too many people seem to have much experience with Red Hat Network and Puppet. Maybe someone here can give me some advise on the following: I''m planning to use both RHN Satellite server and Puppet to manage our medium size network of RHEL 4 and 5 servers. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of management setup? And does there exists some kind of best practice document on this subject?

I''m doing that exact thing and no there isn''t a document (that I know of) on the subject. I will probably have on when I''m done but not at this time. The way I handle the interaction is my provisioning tool (cobbler) does os install and basic puppet bootstapping as well as satellite registration. puppet handles all the package installations but no where does it specify versions etc. I use ensure => installed everywhere rather than ensure => latest or ensure => $version. I basically use the satellite as a package store.

Chris: Have you had experience with adding dlutters puppet-repository to the satellite server? In that case can you provide me with some scripts for pushing puppet-rpms from the web into a custom puppet-channel on the satellite?

That''s what I do now, though I don''t necessarily grab his packages directly (though sometimes I do) I don''t use any scripts to do it however. my current layout is that I have a utility channel that contains all of our random adminstration tools that don''t come with the base OS (or additional channels). Things like nagios, puppet, etc. So I just push packages into those channels as I need them and as they get updated.
