Hi all, I''m a new puppet user and I''m running into some weirdness around creating users on solaris. (puppet version 0.23.2) The virt_all_users way of managing users seems pretty reasonable, but I don''t see how to deal with user specific groups with that. I have: class virt_all_users { @user { "seph": ensure => "present",

Hi, I have a template file which I would like to append to an existing file (in this case I wish to add a few lines to /etc/motd). Unless I''ve missed it, it does not appear that file has an append option. Is there an easy way copy to the end of a file Thanks Paul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

I won''t claim it''s all done to the best style, but it does appear to work. Can someone take a look at http://blogs.cae.tntech.edu/mwr/2007/08/02/the-new-file-server-puppet-and-modules/ and give suggestions? It''s a bit more extensive than the example on the wiki at ModuleOrganization, and might make a decent jumping-off point for others. -- Mike Renfro / R&D

So I have two classes for openvz setup. The first is openvz::setup and it sets up the box for OpenVZ.. then another class (in same .pp file) called openvz::master sets up the config for the main system (as opposed to a VE). The error I see is that the openvz::master class is executed (and fails) becuase it doesn''t seem to load up the setup class? debug: Calling puppetmaster.getconfig

I''m trying to get a new file server managed by puppet from day 1, at least as much as possible. At the moment, though, there''s two issues I''m running into: 1. fstab should have entries for my comically-large RAID, but doesn''t. 2. each puppet run appears to remount the RAID, even when no rules in the manifest change. I suspect the issue may be in parsing

Not that I''m much of a Solaris guy, and definitely not a Solaris 10 guy, but since nobody else had posted anything yet: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetSolaris#Solaris10 The good news is that it appears to be a completely hands-off puppetd installation. Just sign the client key afterwards on the puppetmaster and you''re set. The bad news is that it''s

In looking over the bugs list, it seems to me that most of them are things we can no longer do anything about, because they are on old versions or broken systems or were features or .... There are now so many they obscure the bugs needing attention. I am about the remove the following. If anyone thinks they are still relevant, could you please send a follow-up to R-bugs with details under 1.2.0

Can anyone point me to a "Writing Puppet recipes for Dummies" doc? I''m trying to do a basic probe using lspci to see if I have a Qlogic HBA installed on the machine, and if so, install the Qlogic scli package. Here''s a shell script of what I''m trying to do: #!/bin/bash vendor=1077 # QLogic model=2422 # 24xx hba /sbin/lspci -n -d $vendor:$model | grep

I''m trying to create a virtual host file only if the document root directory exists. It doesn''t look like puppet is seeing the require metaparameter. Currently, the file is being created whether or not the document root directory exists. What is the best way to currently do this? I''m trying to create a file called site1.conf in /apps/apache/conf.d only if

Hi I am trying to push populate /home & subdirectories from the puppet server to all the Linux clients. I managed this with cfengine using rsync. But I am not sure how do I achieve this in puppet, do we have any inbuilt function for this. Also, is there a function for userdel like for useradd (user) groupadd(group). Any suggestion is appreciated. -- Deepak

Hello, I''m new to puppet and facter. Initially we are planning on using facter/puppet to inventory machines (Mac, Ubuntu, and RHEL). We plan on writing a number of custom facts. Obviouly some of the facts will only be specific to some OSs. I know there is a "confine" method, but it confuses me. It seems the confine statement in some of the recipes and in the Turnbull book is

Hi, I''m absolutely new to centralized server management, sorry sorry in advance for any stupid remarks. Looking on the puppet documentation, I mainly find a lot of info about how to manage the config files, but nothing about centralized control. So I''m wandering if I''m looking a the right software package for my needs. I want to be able to do the following from a

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

It seems to me that when you have a master server and a client computer, the master doesn''t really need to know the implementation details of the client computer. It''s kinda like a browser from my perspective...the server is just telling the browser what needs to be drawn on the local side. Does the puppet model work like this? If not, I guess what I read didn''t

"The important thing to understand about how schedules are currently implemented in Puppet is that they can only be used to stop an element from being applied, they never guarantee that it is applied." A schedule does not say this will happen this often, it says this can not happen more than this often. Thus with the default half hour updates the proposed schedule would not have any

Lots of my puppet hosts have DHCP-assigned addresses. I''ve found, at least in Debian 4.0, that puppetd will often start up before the network interfaces are all up and running, and therefore it can''t contact the puppetmaster. When that happens, puppet exits immediately. I''m hacking around the problem with the following content in /etc/default/puppet, but
