I recently got a scary-looking circular dependency as a puppet error, and it took some thought to decipher it. Long story short, I fed it to graphviz, and the graph made it obvious where the problem was. Thought I''d share, in case others are having the same trouble.

Hello, I use puppet with RHEL and there are some packages that aren''t in up2date/yum repositories. I need a way to get these specific RPMs installed. There''s a blog posting that describes an almost-perfect way to do it: http://www.raskas.be/blog/2007/09/10/managing-user-passwords-with-puppet-on-centos/ The only problem with his example is that the RPM will always in the /tmp

Hi All, In my companies environment, we have multiple sites in multiple geographic locations, sometimes with high latency between the sites. I''m trying to come up with a solution that could provide puppet infrastructure to all sites nodes. ----a few assumptions--- - puppet manifest / configuration is fetched from a centralized version control system. - store db is needed (ssh keys,

Greetings! As you undoubtedly know, the fixes for CVE 2007-5162 in ruby break installations where puppetca has created certificates with a CommonName different from the server's real hostname. The Puppet clients quite correctly complains about hostname mismatch. A number of better and worse solutions have been suggested for this problem, especially in ticket #896. IMHO, there are two good

Without changing the normal 30 minutes timer, I was wondering if there was a way to have a puppet MASTER force a client to reload somehow? Here is why - I am giving my help desk access to a webpage on a puppet Master. It will allow them to edit a single file. I need that file to update to the specific client as soon as it is saved. Because of security issues, I can''t put the page on the

Hello there, Since the update with ruby all my puppet function is dead (well known issue with the cert) . There has been some discutions on the dev list on how to patch this for future versions. I have read the list and wondered how we can solve the issue while waiting for the .24. I am in beta test of the .23.x version but on my production system i wanted to find a way to solve this now

Hey All, This is probably a gotcha of some kind. That is to say I''ve missed a configuration somewhere. I''ve recently moved over to using mongrel as the puppet server type and having nginx proxy to one of four mongrel instances. What I''m seeing though is that when I try to run a new node (one that has been created post moving to mongrel/nginx) is that it returns with the

Hi, I am fairly new to using puppet, but have it setup on 25 machines. Just doing some basic configuration management. Recently I decided to try working with updating some services config files and used the ensure => running tags. My question is simple - if the source file does NOT change and I use a subscribe, why does the system keep restarting the daemon every time puppet runs? A simple

Hi, I want to introduce "Proxmox" as new value in $::operatingsystem. "Proxmox" is based on Debian, so the normal value is currently "Debian". To change that, I just write a custom fact based on the facter fact "operatingsystem" Facter.add(:operatingsystem) do > ... > setcode do > ... > elsif

What actually puts the value into the $operatingsystem variable? Does
