Hi All, I asked on IRC but didn''t have everything organized and most people seemed busy. Hoping someone can see what I''m missing here. I''m trying to create a network module, used similar to the ''users'' configuration described in the Best Practices document. I have a users module which has that and it works with similar syntax to below. If I

I asked on IRC but no one responded. Suppose the following: class basenode { include users include security class webserver { include apache, php } } node web1a { include basenode::webserver } Does node web1a imply including users and security specified under class basenode as well? Similarly, does this mean the same thing? class basenode { include users include security }

Yesterday, I switched our node structure from using node basenode, node nodetype inherits basenode, to using node classes per the changes discussed recently on this list and as defined in the wiki:GlossaryOfTerms. In the manifest, we have a syslog module which sets up all the components of syslog-ng we''re using. The ''syslog'' class is used by default on clients and then

I''m almost afraid to ask because this probably sticks out like a sore thumb on the wiki somewhere, and I''m just not seeing it. But I have a bunch of files with the same owner/mode. Is there a way to somehow collapse these, so that all I repeat is the file name? Example: file { "/opt/test/1": owner => "jtan", group =>

I tried using it in a template: <%= memory %> and it put "0" in my file when i switched the variable name to the_memory, it worked Eugene Ventimiglia Director of Systems GridApp Systems e: eventi@gridapp.com o: 646 452 4081 _______________________________________________ Puppet-users mailing list Puppet-users@madstop.com

Hi everyone, we just found out that when invoking puppet with sudo on redhat/centos (with no magic bash_completion), some providers don''t get recognized due to missing absolute path for the provider''s command. for example: useradd has in /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/user/useradd.rb: commands :add => "useradd", :delete => "userdel",

So I can''t quite see how to do this in the existing syntax. Ideally there would be an onlyif parameter for packages, but that doesn''t seem to be the case. I could create a fact that returns true or false depending on whether the file exists, but that doesn''t feel like the right way to do it either. I could do something like: $file_exists =

Should this work? # --- remove any cronjobs that are not managed by puppet. resources { "cron": purge => true } I get the following error. Resources[cron]: Failed to generate additional resources: You must specify a title for objects of type Puppet::Type::Cron Ben

Hello puppet users, I know this is not really a puppet thing but i wanted to know what tools do you use for server provisionning ? I have to build quite a lot of servers for a prject and i need to instal them. Of course puppet take care of the configuration but i wondered if some of you use things like FAI . It seems that i could use puppet to script FAI to install machines. What do you

I''m about to leave town for three weeks and my home server keeps rebooting. It''s my mail server, unfortunately, so there''s a good chance you won''t get this. :/ Anyway, I''ve been meaning to do this for ages and ages, and it''s time to finally do so. I need to move all of the Puppet lists to a public, non-me provider, someone who has

Hello, I am examining whether puppet meets our needs. I can''t find the answer to two questions I am looking to answer, hopefully someone can help. 1. Can puppet be used to manage different classes of the same computers, e.g. do something on the apache test farm, if it works then do it on the apache live farm; and is this done cleanly? 2. How are package updates (e.g. yum update/yum

I''ve been pondering how to handle our file distribution issues - we''re starting to roll puppet out, and I''d like to get it somewhat right from the start. I''ve been watching the list for a while, and observed ''complaints'' about the speed of the fileserver method when dealing with recursive directories. If I can avoid this, I''d

Using audit2allow, I was able to create a policy module for selinux: audit2allow -i /var/log/audit/audit.log -M mysqld (creates mysqld.pp and mysqld.te) I want to distribute this to all my puppet clients. I can easily put this file in /etc/selinux/targeted/modules/active/modules But even after reboot, although I can see the module listed: semodule -l ... it doesn''t seem to actually

Puppeteers, One of the more ... interesting components of our configuration has been how we''re handling users. We don''t have an LDAP solution (yet), so we''re using Puppet to handle users. This isn''t overly complex, at least at first glance. We have three types of users. * System admins * Web developers * R&D developer The system admins have userids on all
