How do admins handle a situation with many boxes like 50 for example. If I wish to tell 50 boxes to run a handful of commands - how is that done? (I mean without actually logging into 1,2,3,4...X and executing the commands) Thanks, Jerry

...uch while still being not 100% sure you caught everything. (Fun fact on the side, while doing admin stuff at $dayjob, I even didn?t automate VM creation as clicking through d-i those times I was installing some took less time in summary than creating auto? mation for it would?ve. I used xlax (like clusterssh, but for any X11 window) for starting installation, then d-i network-console + cssh for the remainder; a private APT repository with config pak? kages, to install dependencies and configure some things, rounded it off.) bye, //mirabilos -- Infrastrukturexperte ? tarent solutions GmbH Am Dickobskr...

Hello! By default puppet node connects to server periodically and looks if there is something execute. I''m wondering is it possible to make puppet clients not connect to server themselves? So that it would be possible to update a node only with puppetrun nodename. --- WBR, Sergey -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users"

Hi, I am currently using keyboardcast but I had to modify the sources to make it behave "properly" (light, auto-placed, auto-tiled windows, etc) and... I lost my modifications and do not want to recode it once more... :/ I wanted to use mssh (not the python one, the one from Bradley Smith) but I cannot find an rpm and cannot compile it on CentOS 5 due to a too old vte-devel library

Hi all, I''m looking into a way to centrally manage installed packages on a fairly fine-grained level. We prefer not to blindly install every new update, but when a mechanism in which we can "approve" of a certain version or not. At first I was thinking about something external to puppet, but then I remembered that it''s possible in puppet to tell which version needs to

...s files. Pretty low tech, and very easy to cause damage since testing-rollout-deploy is impossible. But the other guy who also needs to manage these seems to find it easy. 3) Yet another setup I've used in the past was with a svn repo and using a post-commit hook, run some tests followed by clusterssh! to deploy the iptables files and restart services. Finally replaced that with a slack based deployment, since that allowed me to atleast run some santity tesing and rollback if I ended up locking 'core' host. The problem ofcourse was that its not easy to test remote inbound connections...

Hi list members, does any one of you have a best practice on renewing ssh host keys on cloned machines? I have a customer who never thought about that, while cloning all VMs from one template. Now all machines have the exact same host key. My approach would be to store a machines MAC address(es). Then when starting the sshd.service, check if this MAC has changed. If so, remove all host keys, let
