similar to: OT: best way to move maildirs to another host ?

Hi, I'm a happy user of dovecot since the 0.99.x days, and recently switched my user base to 1.0b2. Now, to the point, I got a request (from marketing) to share a lot of maildirs between two (and possibly more) accounts. Those two accounts have differents uid/gid. The maildirs are actually in one of the account. I thought I could possibly craft a public namespace for those maildirs as

Hi, I''m writing puppet modules since a couple of weeks now, so I''m still considering myself as a new comer in this field. It seems that modules I can find on the web or the recipe page on the wiki almost all use a design pattern where the module is shipped in one or several class(es) whose configuration are determined by "global" or nodes variables ala: module: class

Hi, I'm trying to setup a new mail server where postfix 2.3-20060405 would use Dovecot's SASL and users located in LDAP. It's with dovecot-1.0-beta5. On the postfix side, I followed the SASL_README and have the following in main.cf: smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes On the dovecot side I have the following related to auth:

Hi, I''m still writing my djbdns module, I came to the following design issue with master and slave tinydns. Normally there is no such master and slave distinction in djbdns: all tinydns instance are equal. Usually one instance on one host is considered the master on, which the RR are changed, and when you need to propagate them, you rsync the datas to the other hosts, where they will be

Hi, I''m sorry if that''s a FAQ, I also know exported resources are a still experimental. So my problem might well be a design limitation of how exported resources are working. My issue: I''m trying to export a file resource that is created by an exec block. The file is exported fine and collected fine but it is always empty on the other host. The puppet snippet: class

Hi I''m quite new to the art of writing puppet manifest, but the more I see, the more I like it :-) I''m trying to write a djbdns dnscache module. dnscache configuration is spread in several files, for instance the ip addresses allowed to query the cache each have a file in dnscache/root/ip/ whose filename is the address. I''m trying to automate the creations of those

Hi folks, When I enabled stored configs on my puppet master, it began keeping lots of open connections to the MySQL server (as far as I understand it opened one connection for each client run and never closed them). I set up the server to close idle connections after 5 minutes. Now the database server does close the connections but the puppet master keeps them in CLOSE_WAIT state and eventually

Hi, I'm running a production server (Debian Sarge install) whose root filesystem (a software raid 1 array of 2 partitions of IDE drive) exhibited the following problem: Oct 28 06:00:06 server2 kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Oct 28 06:00:06 server2 kernel: md2: rw=1, want=3050401328, limit=16353920 [...] a few of the above line snipped, want is different each time Oct 28

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7612 The exported resources syntax: @@user { luke: ensure => present } Is concise and powerful, but very difficult to read. We should consider word-based syntax, e.g.: export @user { luke: ensure => present } And taking into account #7605, perhaps: export virtual user { luke: ensure => present } Please comment on the ticket or reply

Hi, I thing this issue has been mentioned several times in this list but I can''t see any conclusion. In about 10% of all runs Puppet randomly fails on some (random) File resource either with this error: Thu Jun 24 02:40:03 +0000 2010 //<random module>/File[<random file>] (err): Failed to generate additional resources using ''eval_generate'': or this error:

Hi, I''ve created two Nginx patches (see at the end of this message) to allow a simpler Nginx configuration for your Mongrel puppetmasters. The two main issues with Nginx in front of puppet were: * no CRL support * no optional certificate verification (and thus we''re forced to have two separate configs on two different ports, and to use --ca_port). Now, it is as simple as

Hi, I''m running multiple vservers and have some aspects managed via puppet. I noticed that puppetd consumes from 20 to 60 mb RAM and the longer the process runs, the more RAM it takes. It looks like 60MB is the top what I measured. Having a couple of vservers (11 in my case) this can already take up to 500MB just for puppet! I''m wondering if there''s any downside in

So I''m still working on a ''perfect'' setup so I can document it on the wiki, and will submit some puppet patches against 0.23.2 next week, but here''s what I''ve done that has made a big difference to stability here. in puppetmasterd at line 261, I''ve modified the Mongrel instantiation from: server = Mongrel::HttpServer.new(addr,

Sharing my stoopid mistake in the hopes of saving someone else the same grief: I had a boolean toggle that was not performing as expected. Long story short: I had put quotes around the word "false" class { ''foo'' : boolFlag => "false" } was coming up TRUE To fix it, lose the quotes class { ''foo'' : boolFlag => false } “Sometimes I

Hi, I''ve been experimenting with Puppet for a few days now, and I really like it. But! I''m having real CPU usage problems. Puppet is still happily eating away 100% CPU for almost an hour at a time, with no apparent things happening. (puppetd -tv --trace --debug, but nothing appearing in the console during this.) I believe the following resource is to blame: file {

Hi all, Is there a more elegant way to regenerate the Puppet master certificate than what''s described in the CVE-2011-3872 toolkit? > If you can maintain a secondary shell session to the puppet master server, you can start a WEBrick master with puppet master --no-daemonize --verbose and stop it with ctrl-C. > If you prefer to only maintain one shell session, you can start a

Hi i''m trying to pass Resources (single or in an array) to a resource, so I can pass this to a notify or require. However I have some problems, when no resource should be passed. Maybe somebody can help me? thanks define gentoo::etcconfd ( $require = '''', $notify = '''' ){ file { "/etc/conf.d/${name}": owner =>
