Just one more email and I''ll let you go for a few hours :) One of the things I like to see in apps is that they are immediately intuitive and easy to use for new users. I think Puppet is really good here, but there''s opportunity to make everything better. We want everyone to love Puppet from their first few minutes using it, all the way through to datacenter nirvana.

Hello, On our ''dev'' puppetmaster, we are experiencing a weird error, or bug. If I manually call puppet (or let the schedule kick it off) this is returned.. err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: private method `gsub'' called for :"puppetreports.report":Symbol warning: Not using cache on failed catalog err: Could not retrieve

I have a working configuration using external nodes, but when I enable storeconfigs using either Sqlite or MySQL, nodes no longer get assigned their classes from the external nodes script. I''m currently using the 0.25.4-2ubuntu6 packages from Ubuntu 10.4. Disabling storeconfigs and restarting puppetmaster causes nodes to be assigned classes from the external nodes script. I''ve

Hey Folks, I''m looking at doing automated provisioning of new servers and am trying to integrate puppet into this process. What I''m wondering though is what the best process for securely registering a new node is. At the moment the first time puppet is run I have to then accept the certificate on the puppetmaster and then run puppet again. What I would like to do is accept the

Hello, I have the following define: define adduser ($shell, $group, $fullname, $ingroups = "none", $home = "none") { user { "$name": ensure => present, comment => "$fullname", gid => "$group", groups => "$ingroups", membership => minimum, shell => "$shell", home

Hi all, I''m using cobbler as our external node manager and it''s working really well (including deployment of ActiveMQ from RI''s RPMS and Mcollective - blog post coming soon!) however I''ve run into a problem with exim configuration files. We use exim in a number of different configurations depending on the role of the server (webserver/antivirus/outbound

I''m running into an issue trying to do something like the following: class test { file {"test": content => template(''mytemplate1'',''mytemplate2''), } } class test::test2 inherits test { File["test"] { content +> template(''mytemplate3''), } } So, basically I want the inherited class to tack on another

Hi all, This just keeps coming up, again and again, so I decided to take a few hours and break everyone''s configuration. Oh, wait, just kidding. :) Really, I''ve completely rewritten external node support. Here''s the changelog entry: Only ONE node source can be used -- you can use LDAP, code, or an external node program, but not more than one.

Hi, I''m using yum as our package provider and having an issue. Puppet is complaining of the version, this is the code I''m trying to implement: $snmp_version = "5.3.2.2" package { "net-snmp": ensure => "${snmp_version}"; } On the client I got: debug: //Node[client.example.com]/snmp::base/Package[net-snmp]: Changing ensure debug:

This might be a crazy idea, but it just popped into my head, and I wanted to know if it''s possible. Perhaps not possible right now, but possible in a theoretical sense. Is it possible that puppet could be modified to be used to manage switches that have a command line based interface? When I manage our Allied Telesis switches (which have a CLI similar to cisco IOS) I wonder if I could

Hi, I''m new to Puppet, but it looks very good, so far. We are going to use it for a multi-tier (DEV, QA, staging, production) environment which is consists of web, app, and database servers. I have a couple of suggestions for the Puppet documentation that may save others some time. First, it seems node names MUST be FQDNs (hostname and hostname. will not work). Since we are not using

There's a systems management app several of us are working on in Fedora space many of you may be interested in... https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/func/ Basically func is a way to address multiple-systems at once, like SSH, but with much easier certificate distribution and pluggable XMLRPC modules (written in Python), and easy scriptability. Func's certmaster can also be
