"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

So when puppetd crashes/whatever, and a pid file is left behind, SMF in Solaris will try restarting puppet, but fail. And then it sits there restarting it forever. I''m not sure if I can adjust the flap detection in SMF.. it isn''t disabling the service for "restarting too quickly" because it takes so long to start. Probably because I''m NFS-mounting ruby. The

Is there a Best Practices method for doing this? :) I''m trying to configure clients by ssh''ing to them from the puppetmaster. My steps are: ssh $host ''svccfg import ...'' sleep puppetca --sign $host scp namespaceauth.conf $host ssh $host ''svcadm restart puppet'' The problem is that I''d like to stop and log an error if the cert signing

Is there a list somewhere? How do I know what $operatingsystem, for example, is going to be set to? Using ''solaris'' seems to work, but I haven''t tested ''ubuntu'' and ''redhat'' yet (haven''t gotten that far). It''d be nice to have a list of available vars, along with "how they are set." -Charlie

Hi, I''ve just changed my debian preseed configuration to install the debian unstable package of puppet v0.22.1. As part of the preseed I have a late command that clobbers the /etc/init.d/puppet file into using the puppet standalone program and not the puppetd (as this is what I''m using). Since the upgrade to 0.22.1 every boot hangs during the initd. Going into standalone mode

Man #puppet is a ghost town tonight =) http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/AddingFacts now exists. There''s probably errors. -Charlie

I tried using $name in this manner: remotefile { "/etc/auto_direct.local": mode => 644, source => "solall/$name" } (The remotefile function is handy, BTW) When I use $name here, instead of specifying the actual path to the file (solall/etc/auto_direct.local), puppetd ends up making /etc/auto_direct.local an empty directory. Shouldn''t $name

Anyone ever thought of making the service type in puppet able to deploy new services? I''m not sure this would be useful for all OSes, since package management systems generally install init scripts. Well it''d still be useful for Linux if you''re managing any customized services. For Solaris, it''d be great if I could just give puppet an SMF XML file, and say

I thought the purpose of classes was that you could redefine types in the subclasses. However I get "Duplicate definition" errors whenever I attempt this. On a whim I tried the code from the documentation: http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/documentation/structures.html --- Subclassing The primary benefit of using subclasses instead of just including the parent class is that

Hello, I would like to know on what platforms Puppet runs. I cannot seem to find the information on Puppet''s web site. Bcfg2 has it on it''s front page :-) I know there are .debs and .rpms, but are, for instance, Solaris, FreeBSD and AIX supported? Thanks. -- Guillaume Pratte Recherche et développement Révolution Linux Toutes les opinions et les prises de position

Any ideas? I've found similar complaints about ldapsam_delete_entry not building, but it wasn't helpful here. I'm using openldap-2.3.4 and krb5-1.3.1 on Sol9. Please CC me; I'm not on the list.
