Puppet users - Feb 2011 - RHEL5 and RHEL6 wiith Puppet

I''ve just started to test existing Puppet modules with RHEL6.  It seems
that
several things have changed slightly, breaking the old RHEL5-tested modules
and requiring addition configuration to be added.

 

1. The syslod has changed to rsyslog, and the config files have altered.
This is the largest change.

2. The snmpd has changed the location of its var file and so SNMPv3 user
creation doesn''t work the same.

3. The use of UDEV for all devices now requires us to have some special
rules added on our virtual (vmware) guests, so that device names are not
persistent -- we need to exclude vmware network devices from UDEV else they
will be renamed if the MAC address changes.

 

Has anyone else spotted any other changes requiring alteration to the Puppet
manifests and modules?

There are probably plenty more. A couple from the top of my head :
 * RPC stuff : portmap changed to rpcbind
 * Default MTA : sendmail changed to postfix

If you have anything that changes the inittab, it may not work: they
switched to Upstart for RHEL6.
