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

Hi, I''m trying to use "package" with "provider" "dpkg" to install packages in Ubuntu that is not in a repository (or packages that I don''t want to take from a repository). Typical examples of this are "AdobeReader" (acroread) and "Opera". The problem with these packages is that they don''t seem to have a 64 bit version

It seems to me that when you setup an environement for a cron it just recreate the crontab at each run even if the cron has not changed. Seems it does not recognize actual environement settings. I put 2 environement and i got: info: Writing cron tab for aqadmin /linux/cron=puppetdcron/environment: environment changed '''' to

Hi, I''ve been using puppet to manage a small Linux network fairly successfully for a while now - thanks. I''ve hit a spot of bother in managing some files, though. There are a number of folders in /usr/local that I want to manage efficiently using puppet - for example /usr/local/share/templates. I want to copy the contents of a number of source folders on the puppet fileserver

I''m not sure if this is the way things are supposed to happen but, when I specify a directory with recursion and md5 checksums, the directory itself is checksummed and assumed to have changed. Of course, if anything in the directory changed, the directory checksum will change. What I would like to do is to manipulate all of the files in a directory, but ignore the directory itself.

Greetings! As you undoubtedly know, the fixes for CVE 2007-5162 in ruby break installations where puppetca has created certificates with a CommonName different from the server's real hostname.

Hi all, I''d got the impression that puppet didn''t care about ordering - ie. the ordering of imports and includes related to calling them in the manifest. Lately I''ve had big trouble getting puppet to accept that I require some resource that I _have_ defined elsewhere in the manifest. To explain it, here is a simplified example: site.pp: -------- import

"Service and class definitions are scoped just as variable assignments are." But what about types? Here''s an example: class solserver inherits server { remotefile { "/etc/shadow": mode => 400, group => staff, source => "solall/etc/shadow.server" } Is it possible to just override the "/etc/shadow" definition for

Ok, I installed Ruby/LDAP to try and get Puppet''s ldapnodes support working and despite doing this I am still getting errors from puppetmasterd "notice: Could not set up LDAP Connection: Missing ruby/ldap libraries" followed by "info: Skipping ldap source; no ldap connection". I traced down this particular message to: lib/puppet/parser/interpreter.rb and it appears

...et wiki accordingly. Run this: ruby -lldap -e ''puts :yep'' If that throws an error, then Ruby is not finding your library, and thus neither will Puppet. If that does not throw an error but Puppet still can''t find the library, then it looks like a bug in Puppet. -- Nonreciprocal Laws of Expectations: Negative expectations yield negative results.

Hi, I wanted to configure reporting in puppet. I came across the below links which says what needs to be added in config file to enable reports.
