Anyone ever implimented cfengine on 4.x ? I am just looking for background and if there are any traps to fall into? thanks

Hey folks, I have a problem with the definition of a variable of type slist in CFEngine on # uname -a ; cat /etc/redhat-release Linux policyhub.example.com 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 22 21:09:27 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core) I'm not sure if its valid to ask CFEngine questions on this mailing list, but as far as I'm...

The docs to installing cfengine refers to /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root That doesn't exist. Nor does /etc/crontab. Heck I remember that from the "old days", now there are lots of cron entries, in /etc but no crontab. Not installed by default. So, I'm hunting that one down. Nate, what did you wind up doing?? Ric...

Hello, I''ve recently begun looking at Puppet as an alternative to Cfengine and I have a couple of questions. 1) Besides the information posted on the Puppet website, are there any critical differences between Puppet and Cfengine? 2) Does Puppet allow for client-specific file text manipulation. For instance, in Cfengine I can add a line of text to a file if the line do...

Greetings, Our environment consists of about 600 Redhat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, 5, and soon 6 servers. We use cfengine 2 currently, but plan on migrating to puppet. Right now, we have our root-owned cfengine client running every 15 minutes from cron contacting a single cfservd server. Additionally, our employees start their own cfengine and puppet instances on on some servers running under their various service...

Is anyone working with cfengine v3? It looks like it has some interesting design changes and a commercially supported windows version now. Can anyone share real-world experiences? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

...d some physical), and we are trying to come up with a tool that will assist setting up new boxes as we bring them online, as well as maintaining existing systems when changes are necessary. After spending a little bit of time searching around today, I have run across 2 that seem like good options, cfengine and puppet. Does anyone have any thoughts about either of these tools? Is there definite advantage to using one over the other from your experience? Is there a another tool that I should be evaluating? -- Doug Registered Linux User #285548 (http://counter.li.org) -------------------------------...

Is there an equivalent to cfrun in puppet. On the cfengine master you can do the command cfrun <hostname> which allows you to tell the cfengine client to run. This is useful for immediately pushing changes out immediately (or telling the client to pull). Chris

Hello there. Just to let you know i have just put in production mode puppet on 41 freeBSD 4.7 virtual servers (yes not real servers but "jailed ones"). I had some little problems with facter at first but i have manualy upgraded the servers that where affected by the little "facter does not read his facts" problem i had. I should have missed something in my deploiement.

Hello fellow community members! I just joined you in order to find an information about how to start using Puppet... Currently we use cfengine for our legacy system containing several OS platforms, including physical and virtual servers. For fresh new hardware and OS versions we decided to go with Puppet due to it''s growing popularity (wow, 4082 members of this group only!). I''ve installed it on a Linux KVM guest, it i...

...a manifest, or series of manifests to allow me trigger a command (call it ''foo'') if all three classes are defined. I also need to be able to trigger a different command (bar) if c1 and c3 are defined, but c2 is not. How would this look in puppet? For those of you familiar with cfengine, this would be similar to: c1.c2.c3:: foo c1.!c2.c3:: bar Thanks. Nathan T. Dabney Senior System Administrator, Infrastructure LAIKA, Inc.

Hi, Gang.. The Subject: line says it all. My organisation is looking at selecting a configuration management system. Any comments about why you chose Puppet over other options would be very helpful to us.

Hi During a 'normal' install i have to add a bunch of users and modify some files such as DNS, Syslog, ssh key files etc While i can do this with a shell script post install it would be VERY neat to just have all these changes packaged up into an rpm and i can then just rpm -i this post install. Can i do this and if so can anyone point me to a how-to that would help me through the

I know this is a basically meaningless milestone, but for some reason it means something to me. For the first time (as far as I know), #puppet on irc.freenode.net has more users than #cfengine: 21 vs. 19. Admittedly, that''s a low user count for #cfengine, but I''ll take it. :) -- Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance, or a stranger. -- Franklin P.

Hi all, I''d appreciate your help improving our understanding of what the community is most looking for from Puppet, how Reductive Labs manages it, and how best to provide services around the project. Toward this end, we''ve created a short survey (it should take you less than ten minutes): http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/95175/q1-2008-puppet-user-survey Please take a few
