Group - I''m putting a presentation together for $work (a large .gov) and I want to make sure I get my facts (pun intended) straight ... Are the following steps for Facter-Client-Server interaction correct (I have a feeling not): 1. Client puppet run is initiated (via regular schedule, puppetrun, or puppetd) 2.

With that in mind - would it be possible to create a "shorewall_rule" type? The rules file is a simple file with space/tab delimited fields: (I can provide a detailed explanation of each

Can anyone point me to a "Writing Puppet recipes for Dummies" doc? I''m trying to do a basic probe using lspci to see if I have a Qlogic HBA installed on the machine, and if so, install the Qlogic scli package.
