In our environ, there are several services that are deployed via an NFS mount, so that the executables and configs are consistent across the board. Is there any reason why this couldn''t be done with Puppet? For example, each individual system would contain its own /etc/puppet and rc.d and pid files -- but the primary deployment would come from NFS. For that matter, as Enterprise

We have resources that, from time to time, are selected to be removed (unmanaged). When it comes to ssh keys, fstab... this leaves a lot of stuff behind that we don''t want. Is there a simple way to remove the unmanaged data so we can keep the systems clean. Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I have a requirement to manage membership to groups in /etc/group. These members do not need to be virtual users. I don''t see a way to do this through virtual users @group. How are others doing this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. To

I have FreeBSD-6.1 and it appears the default installation has a full complement of Kerberos5. But, /usr/src/kerberos5/README states: This subtree is world-exportable, as it does not contain any cryptographic code. At the time of writing, it did not even contain source code, only Makefiles and headers. Please maintain this "exportable" status quo. Thanks!

I read somewhere recently about problems with Puppet and Ruby 1.9. I''m wondering if this is still an issue?

Our shop is newly adopting puppet. Our number of nodes is growing and my installation method is thus far manual and tedious. This will change when/if we migrate to Puppet Enterprise. My question is what''s a best practice for managing puppet installations on client nodes? Is it possible to separate out the client portion of the install from the server or is that now fully

I have a simple manifest that I''m using to keep unwanted services from running on an array of Linux systems. On my test host, I see these two services repeatedly come up in the puppet.log, even tho they are not running and are chkconfig set to off: service { "cups": enable => false, ensure => stopped, } service {

Hi @all, after upgrading my puppet server to Puppet 3.0 I got the following error every time a client connect to the server: [ pid=1532 thr=70147393710520 file=utils.rb:176 time=2012-10-08 11:17:56.504 ]: *** Exception NoMethodError in PhusionPassenger::Rack::ApplicationSpawner (undefined method `settings'' for Puppet:Module) (process 1532, thread #<Thread:0x7f98ecf7d370>):

I have some NFS directories that get changed to a read-only status after a period of time. I noticed in puppet, if I change these values and restart puppet and puppetmaster respectively, it does not pick up the change in the mount {} directive. Is there a way around this, or a better way to affect the change. Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

I''ve seen mention of this error in several places, with different causes. So before I posted here, I attempted to resolve this on my own. I corrected the change from puppet:///files to puppet:/// in my manifests *.pp files. No changes were made to the auth.conf file, and I did note in the ChangeLog that: Auth.conf differentiates between names and IPs – There’s a new allow_ip

There''s a problem installing puppet on Solaris 10 -- in this situation, we aren''t really doing anything with puppet there. The version we''re using is: ruby 1.8.7 (2011-02-18 patchlevel 334) [i386-solaris2.9] Here''s the first error: # gem update puppet > > Updating installed gems > > Updating puppet > > Building native extensions. This

We have perhaps 40 to 50 systems, give or take, that are mostly under Puppet management (not all). After having spent some time doing my own thing with open-source, I''m looking into migrating to PE. One question I have is relative to initial deployment -- if I decide to keep PuppetDB on the same server as Master, can I later migrate that role off onto another host? I

I''m attempting to deploy puppet via an NFS share. It''s on a local-only network, and it will contain only ruby (gems) and whatever is needed. Seems simple enough, but tonight I am having an issue with this error: # service puppet start Starting puppet: /local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ custom_require.rb:36:in `gem_original_require'': no such file to load -- openssl

I need to rsync a large collection of files (images) that number in the 1000's. We have 2 repositories, one was mass-copied recently, the other has since had updates performed. The initial copy took over 5 hours to complete ;-) What we want is only to update the destination (old) copy with newer files, delete anything that shouldn't be there. What I'm trying to determine is

I wonder if anyone has tried using an IMAP server with Amazon S3 as a backend. There would be many factors to consider (speed, etc). However, moreso, I don't know that Maildir(++) would support multiple folders that might be linked into the cloud. For example, higher-I/O local incoming mail is on disk, some folders archived on S3. Could be easily done by simply creating another

I've had a problem with 4.8-STABLE whereby a new system build/install appears to nudge out the module File::Spec (perhaps others), which I usually have to reinstall every time. I'm curious about what's happening here, why, etc. Thanks.

Recently, any package I install via the ports collection gets this error: <package name> is already installed - perhaps an older version? If so, you may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. If you really wish to overwrite the old port of imap-uw-2002c1,1 without deleting it

This applies to yesterday's build of FreeBSD-4.8 from CVSup update. # man troff Formatting page, please wait...troff: fatal error: can't find macro file tty-char Done. This started happening at least a few days ago, and I've been unable to resolve it. Since I tried also building from /usr/src/gnu/groff as well, no problems with the compile, but this continues to happen.

Why would this be happening, and how can I fix this - the man subsystem hasn't been working because of this for a while. This is FreeBSD-4.9-Prerelease: # gdb man man GNU gdb 4.18 (FreeBSD) This GDB was configured as "i386-unknown-freebsd"...(no debugging symbols found)... /usr/share/tmac/man: No such file or directory. And when I go to run a manpage, I sometimes get this

I'm getting this error from time-to-time when using VI under FreeBSD_4.9-prerelease: Error: input: Resource temporarily unavailable Basically, VI just exits/crashes (no core dump). The load average is pretty low: 4:18PM up 10 days, 23:42, 4 users, load averages: 0.13, 0.21, 0.21 And I don't seem to have any other problems with the system. Wondering what this might be, or if
