Puppet on busybox, Bob Hope or No Hope?
When I say busybox it''s actually VMware ESX server which seems to use
busybox (which I guess is the case a number of other software appliances) .
Reason for wanting to install puppet is to run the cli tools to create
nightly vmware snapshots.
I''m happy to give it a go (and add the docs to the wiki) but I''m not too
sure at this stage how big a task this might be and what,

Method of specifying tags in the puppetd.conf
...puppetd.conf => # tags not specified, so install everything.
I don''t care if i break it.
I am currently trying to learn Ruby, so am happy to attempt
implementation of this myself, but before I start work on this I thought
I''d ask for opinion...
Regards,
mike

Facter ''operatingsystemrelease'' fact.
...5: operatingsystemrelease => 4.5
default: operatingsystemrelease => kernelrelease
I have access to various releases of the major OSs above, plus Solaris
10 (i386).
I figure this should be easy enough, so i''m happy to tackle it as my
first foray into Ruby.
Thoughts?

dry-run?
Greetings.
Long story short ... configuration changes were made to my puppet
clients while my puppet server was unavailable. I would like to run
puppetd in such a way that it will list what files it would replace, but
not actually replace them, so that I can synchronize my server with my
various clients.
rsync has a -n (--dry-run) option that does this. But I can''t find one

Recursive permissions
Does anyone know if it''s possible to do the following:
Given the directory structure:
/foo/bar
/foo/bar/<bunch of stuff>
Is it possible to set /foo/bar to, say 555, and all stuff below to 440
or the directory equivalent?
Thanks,

Multiple swap partitions
I have a machine with two swap partitions (sda2 and sda8). Both will
have none as mount point. When I try to use puppet (using mount type)
for managing fstab I get problems because "name" in both instances
(i.e. mount path) will be "none". How should I fix this within puppet?

$operatingsystem variable.
In the documentation, there is an example such as this:
case $operatingsystem {
sunos: { include solaris } # apply the solaris class
redhat: { include redhat } # apply the redhat class
default: { include generic } # apply the generic class
}
I''ve seen the $operatingsystem variable used elsewhere.
What actually puts the value into the $operatingsystem variable?

RFC: Changing variable override
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

Puppet common misconceptions wiki page.
After stumbling merrily into the ''node inheritance variable override''
problem last night (see ''RFC: Changing variable override'' thread for
more info), it occurred to me that it would be useful to have a page in
the Wiki to describe common misconceptions of the way that the puppet
language and system works.
Are folk happy for this to be a separate page, or

Pattern matching in case statement
Hi all,
I need my servers to decide which network they are in (i.e. dmz), and
the only clue is the servers IP-address. I was trying to accomplish it
like this, but it doesn''t work:
case $ipaddress {
"10.1.1.*": {
$network = "net1"
}
"10.2.2.*.*": {
$network = "net2"
}
"10.3.3.*": {

Puppet as a push model
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

iptables module?
I know people must be doing something to manage iptables, but I
haven''t been able to find anything yet. ( My google-fu must be weak
today. )
What are you using to manage your iptables?

Getting a list of managed machines on the puppetmaster.
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,
