Puppet users - Jun 2008 - Group based push using puppetrun

Hi all,

I am thinking...the way to push one/more configuration updates to
bunch of hosts...As i read puppet documentation


Group A           Group B
host-a-1            host-b-1
host-a-2            host-b-2
host-a-3            host-b-3

I can do like this as per docs
----------site.pp--------------

node host-a-1,host-a-2,host-a-3 {

include sendmail-a-group.cf
include ldap.conf

}

node host-b-1,host-b-2,host-b-3 {

include sendmail-b-group.cf
include ldap.conf

}

--------------------------------------------

but when i want to push updates to all member of Group-A and Group-B i
have to run long command like
#puppetrun --host  host-b-1  --host host-b-2 --host host-b-3

same for Group A...

anything like  I can define number of hosts for 1 group and i push
updates to group name so ( command ill be small  ) ...

Group B {
host-b-1
host-b-2
host-b-3
}

And #puppetrun  {groupB}  ( just imagine...)

dsh [1] plus passwordless ssh logins for root from the puppetmaster?

I use it as follows:

   gold:~# dsh -g pe1850 -M \
     "puppetd -vt --factsync --server gold.cae.tntech.edu"

where /etc/dsh/group/pe1850 contains the hostnames in that group of systems.

From the manpage of puppetrunner, you can specify a tag or/and a class 
IF you store your nodes in an LDAP server.

---
 The most common usage would be to specify a class of hosts and a set
 of tags, and +puppetrun+ would look up in LDAP all of the hosts 
matching that class, then con-
 nect to each host and trigger a run of all of the objects with the 
specified tags.

Somebody already did that ?
