Hi, I have a class to add users to all the host servers. We are in the process to have a coexisting user which belongs in NIS & as well as /etc/passwd. We have NIS clients (yp running) on all host servers. So when running puppet is fails to add or modify user, bcos the user already exists in NIS. Eg: A user pcruise is an existing NIS user. When using useradd or

Hi all, I''ve been looking for a good example for how one would build a module, but I couldn''t really find something that I liked, so I went ahead and tried to do it myself. The result is this: a git module (see attachment). Please have a look and comment on it, before I add it to the wiki. I especially want comments on the setup of the module itself, not so much on the git

Thanks. kstart do exactly that, it manages and refreshes the ticket for long running processes.

Can anyone who''s having this problem please send details? I''m trying to reproduce it -- I''ve got 5 clients concurrently retrieving 200 10k files made of random binary, and I can''t get any corruption or memory growth at all. Is everyone experiencing the problem using Mongrel? Webrick? What versions of ruby? Are only big files affected? Small files?

I was wondering if there would be any benefit to the general community if I made available a debian and ubuntu repository of up to date puppet packages. I have the infrastructure in place anyway for my work (pbuilder + falcon), and can quite easily run up a vhost on a VM somewhere. Debian Etch (4.0) for example has puppet 0.20.1, and will never get a newer version. Ubuntu Feisty has a newer

...#39;'re only running a handful of production systems via Puppet; most of the systems currently in Puppet are test/dev systems. We will, however, begin managing some of our production Kerberos KDCs using Puppet this coming weekend. -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>

I''m trying to install the tomcat5.5 package under Debian Etch. The problem is that the init.d script for tomcat5.5 uses "su .... &" to run some things (I think logging processes?) This causes puppetd to hang in its run, because the subprocess never returns (due to open filehandles?). Does anybody have any idea what I can do to get around this? The same

Greetings! Are there any plans of using Kerberos for authentication in addition to (or in place of) SSL certificates in Puppet? Kerberos provides mutual, cryptographically strong authentication. A number of different services are Kerberos-enabled (SSH, NFSv4 and HTTP are common examples), and thus use the same authentication mechanism system-wide. At our site, almost all services and users are

Hello, I just attempted to remove both the ypbind and the yp-tools packages using the package parameter with yum. As it turns out, both of these packages depend on each other. Is there a way of forcing package removal and, if there is not, is there a way of making all packages to be removed be collapsed into the same yum command? Either of these solutions would solve the problem with the

What techniques are people using to do particular tasks once in a great while? For example, usually you don''t want to automatically upgrade the kernel until it''s fully tested but, of course one day you will. How do you work through Puppet to perform this activity on an on-demand basis instead of a periodic job. Are you using state files like "if file X exists do Y"

Is it possible to specify an arch type (e.g. i386 or x86_64, etc) when using the package resource type? -- DK

Apparently I''m missing how information comes in from different places to one destination, or something. The current case is a simple one; I want to define everything about the firewall in one place, *except* the source of the /etc/sysconfig/ iptables file (which will be system-specific). Apparently I can''t just set that attribute of that file resource in the node statement,

I am trying to write a module for tripwire. I need to push out the twcfg.txt and twpol.txt files only if the tw.cfg and tw.pol files do not currently exist. How can do I this with File{}? I''m can''t seem to find a way to do it. In general times, how can you deploy file A only when file B does not exist? And... tripwire... what a mess. I am trying to use push out the site key,

i got a little idea there, should not puppet use environement LANG=C when managing facts or packages etc... ? i have LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 and puppet choke on quite a few facts (erors messages with uname for exemple: Pour en savoir davantage, faites: « uname --help ». ) and also with packages updates : /usr/bin/apt-cache policy mysql-client-4.1 => err:
