Greetings - Does anyone have plans for a Puppet BOF at LISA this year? I''ve seen some talk on the LOPSA configmgmt list about Config Mangement BOF''s, but nothing focused on Puppet. Please, Please, mom, can we have a BOF, PUHLEESE!!!! Luke - I hope you''ll be there so I can at least buy you dinner and beers/drinks for making my SA life easier with Puppet. Cheers, Jeff

Dear FreeBsd gurus, I have a problem concerning users password and authentication policies. The goal is 1)make freebsd to lock users after 3 unsuccessful login attempts, 2)force users to change their passwords every 90 days I've done such changes in Linux distros, with various PAM modules.But in Freebsd it seems that i need to use login.conf file. Here I made necessary changes in that

Looks like I''ll be in Austin from Tuesday (late) night until Saturday morning. Any Puppeteers in Austin who want to get together? I''ve got vague plans to hang out with whurley, but I''d love to meet a few more people in the community. Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday night should work fine (although not all three). -- Always behave like a duck - keep calm and

Hi, Taking this to a new thread. Thoughts on getting a new list started up ? Should it be centos-sysadmin or centos-infra ? Are we going to then restrict it to admin/infra related chatter ? in which case, does the eyeball density on this list reduce for that sort of content ? How about the politics and news stuff that gets posted to this list. And how would those things be addressed with

...messages? * How can I stop auditing completely? With CentOS 5 Xorg ran with "audit 0" and I was unable to find the place where the audit level is set. * (more generally) What's auditing good/used for anyway? Any hint is appreciated. Cheers frank [cross-posted on lopsa-tech maillist]

Dear all:     I met a problem recently.     I am using Xen to build my virtual network, and vlan ID is used to seprate different virtual networks. At first I built the network bridge with a physical network device with vlan as its port directly. Then my virtual host could send and recieve normal packets while these packets are encapsulated in vlan ethernet frames once they come into physical

Hi all, I''m trying to expand the screen resolution of my guest when using vnc. It appears I need to use the extra variable in my guest config file and xenfb. I pass it in like this: extra = ''xenfb.video=8,1024,768'' I can see this being passed to the kernel when it boots but it doesn''t change the vnc screen resolution. I also see this when I type ps -ef |

Apologize ahead of time if this has been asked before. Without using external commands, can puppet back-up files and directories to the puppetmaster server? If I delete or change a file, I can back the file, but all I want to do is to take a snap-shot of some configurations. If I can''t do it natively, has anyone created a script that does so using external commands (such as tar, gzip,

I know that some of you from the list have asked me in the past for a copy of my CentOS based Linux Firewall document. There are also those that have no clue what I am talking about. This is for the former group... There is a new version of my document out. It's changed quite a bit since the last person asked me for it. Some of the changes are: * Updated the scripts in the Useful Shell

If you use any NAS (or a SAN) devices, what do you use? And I''m referring more to larger scale network storage than your home PC or home theater system. We''ve had very good experiences with our NetGear ReadyNAS devices but I''m in the market for something new. The NetGear''s aren''t the cheapest ones around but they do what it says on the box. My only
