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

...SL errors when the puppet client joins.

Hi, While at LCA this year I was talking to James Turnbull, and I think he said it was possible to a) pull files off a puppet client to the puppet master b) push those files out to other puppet clients I''ve been reading up on FileBucket and I don''t understand how I can achieve that, or if I''m on the right track.
