Ok, so I figured I''d move this here since IRC isn''t the place for it. Ok, so I have my 40ish servers. Of those, 36 or so of them have hosts entries that need to look like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost 172.x.x.x dbprod1.xxx.com dbprod1 172.x.x.x mgmt01.xxx.com mgmt01 puppet certmaster 172.x.x.x mybox.xxx.com mybox Where mybox is the name of the box. The others have a few additional entries. So, I made a class that creates those hosts entries and I include it on my host.

Func's certmaster can also be used to distribute certificates to other programs for use in their communications. You can read more on the project page.
