Hi,
I have 2 questions regarding puppet.conf file:
1. What should I do to use puppet to deploy puppet.conf files? I have
only one puppetmaster, but I was wondering if I should push the same file
on all my hosts (including the puppetmaster) or should I have a file
specifically for puppetmaster. I want to push puppet.conf file because I
want to set reporting on on clients, mostly.
2. It looks like the default environment for puppetmaster was
"Master".
Should I change that to something else... I''d like to eventually
use
different environments (dev, staging, prod)?

It will let you manage individualsections of puppet.conf instead of managing the whole file. For example, if you just want to turn reporting on, you can declare the following resource on all of your systems in whichever class you choose. ini_setting { ''enable_reporting'': path => ''/etc/puppet/puppet.conf'', section => ''agent'', setting => ''report'', value => ''true'', ensure => present, } http://forge.puppetlabs.com/cprice404/inifile Side-note, report is set to true by default on Puppet 3 agents.

That is options that apply to the master only. You can also use [agent] (and probably [cert], [apply], etc.). -- Chad M.

The agents will simply ignore any master-specific configuration options present in the puppet.conf file. On my system, I''ve actually configured the puppet master to use a separate configuration file from the puppet agents. You can do this fairly easily by editing the init script (on debian/ubuntu you can do this in /etc/defaults/puppetmaster) to pass "--config_file_name=puppetmaster" when starting the master process. -- Calvin Walton <calvin.walton@kepstin.ca>
