Hi, I was looking for a solution to change the value of a variable using include (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ CommonMisconceptions), and found an interesting solution on the kinial SPEC (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/KinialSpec). But I can''t find more about this project ? iClassify derives from this spec, but the interesting part (inheritance) is not supported. So anyone has implemented kinial ? Thanks, Benoit --~--~---------~--~----~------------~------...

...o ''all'' which means that all of the ldap attributes on a node will be set as variables in your manifest. Note that host facts override either of these node attribute sources. I could make this configurable if people want. Note that this is half-way to the functionality of kinial; in the end, kinial is really just a tool to be used as an external_nodes. Hopefully soon I''ll knock out the second piece. Of course, this isn''t released yet; it''ll be in the release I''m putting out ASAP (I just need to close the last 7 or so bugs in the...

Does any one have a recipe for getting facter facts from ldap?

Hello everyone, A long time ago, I posted the Stanford Best Practices and I''ve gone through and updated it today. I''d like to have people go through it and see if we can strip out some Stanford specific stuff and tag this as an official best practice. I think an official best practice will be important as more and more people consider making shareable modules, etc (mostly

After some through I have decided that I don''t want to keep all my configuration variables in LDAP; too many variables and the variables are too specific to manage efficiently. What I want to keep in ldap are some general class definitions, like samba-bdc, and samba-dev-shares, etc. So I build a manifest like the one below; but there are a few problems. First, I can''t be sure

I just started digging into puppet and it looks like puppet is using a pull model. You have a master server and clients talk to it to get config info. Is anyone out there using a push model? If not, why not? Are there security reasons you would use one over the other? It seems that cfengine also uses a push model, so I wondered if this is a "standard" or if there are specific

Greeting Puppeteers, ( I sent this from the wrong address so it may be a duplicate post after moderation ) I recently discovered puppet from the debian administration site and thought I might install it after BASHING my head against cfengine the last 3 times I tried to install it. I installed puppetmaster on my primary server and dropped puppet on a couple of xen virtuals. It worked

It seems like a very common expectation that the following code would work: class boo { $me = "/something" file { $me: ensure => present } } class yay inherits boo { $me = "/something/else" } Yet, as many have found to their chagrin, it does not work. Should it? I believe I know how I could make this work: Create a single variable namespace for class

I just started messing with puppet, and i love it! I have used cfengine in the past, and were in process of planing to replace cfengine now. One thing thats stumped me this weekend and i know i read your working on virtal defines so i can''t do that, but how can i get arond this issue with the curretn setup. I think i am missing something fundamentally simple here. i have this

Is there an easy way to list which puppet daemons a puppetmaster controls? ... and from that, is there a way of getting the puppetmaster to store a copy of their compiled configuration somewhere? Thanks, mike
