Forgive a newbie question, but... I would like to plug in a USB key
that has a base install of Debian + Puppet into a machine, and use
Puppet to provision the key from a central server. What have have tried
has not worked, and I''m hoping someone can point out my problem.
-----------------------------------
In site.pp:
node ''foobar.vanderbilt.edu'' {
include provision_usb_key
}
In classes/provision_usb_key.pp:
class provision_usb_key {
package { "plover":
ensure => latest
}
}
-----------------------------------
I had thought this would detect whether the latest version of the
"plover" package was installed, and otherwise use apt to
download/install the package.
However, when I run puppetd on the client with debugging, the debugging
log shows nothing happening.
Can someone enlighten me? Muchos gracias!
Mat

Add to the top of site.pp: import classes/provision_usb_key.pp or import classes/*.pp I hope this helps, Mark --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hi Mark. I do have a import "classes/*" at the top of my site.pp file, so I''m afraid it''s not that. Thanks for the idea though.

Can you see puppetd make requests to the puppetmaster? What do the puppetd logs look like? What about the puppetmaster logs if there is a request?

Hi Andrew. That helped us figure it out. Turns out someone had misconfigured the firewall on that IP, and fixed it over the weekend. I came in this morning, and everything Just Works.
