So I''ve done some Mac OS X pkgs for the latest Facter and Puppet, as well as a combined mpkg for them both. Jeff McCune and I are doing a fair bit of testing on them this week in preparation for MacWorld, so I wasn''t going to upload them to the official site for another few days, but they''re looking pretty good. http://explanatorygap.net/puppet/Facter_1.3.8.pkg.zip

Hi There, I''m implementing puppet for a large scale Enterprise, with a lot of sites and a lot of different setups (for about 1500 Linux and Solaris machines). Now, the time has come to get some management attention, and of course, the first question I''ll have is who else is using puppet.... So I thought it Worth''s a try to ask - who is using puppet in a large scale

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,

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

I''m looking at re-working or replacing install.rb from the source distribution to allow more flexible installations, primarily to get MacPorts and Fink packages working but to also work on automatic Mac pkg creation from source. How are people currently using it? Currently the command line options are for options like --no-rdoc, --no-man, --quick, --full, but if you want to specify a

Hi there I would like to setup my puppetmasterd behind my ADSL modem and manage the nodes on the hosting sites. I can imagine opening ports to the puppetmasterd server will work. Am I right? On the other hand an ideal configuration for me would be a Reverse Proxy setup, so I don''t have to touch the ADSL router. Has anyone setup a puppetmasterd behind a reverse proxy? Any pointers,

hello,all. Is there a have some tools to check the puppet manifests before to use it ? like nagios -v nagios.cfg .the new version puppet client can''t get error syntax message,so ,when have some syntax error I can''t found it. -- Huang Mingyou

Hi all, Does anyone know where I can get a new MacOS X package with puppet...? The newest one on reductivelabs site is 0.23.0... -- Med venlig hilsen Juri Rischel Jensen Fab:IT ApS Vesterbrogade 50 DK-1620 København Tlf: 70 202 407 / Fax: 33 313 640 www.fab-it.dk / juri@fab-it.dk

Hi all, I''ve just implemented a [crude] manifest to apply a set authorized_keys file to the root account of a puppet client. class rootssh_test { file { "/root/.ssh/authorized_keys": owner => root, group => root, mode => 0600, content => template("rootssh_test") } } The template has two ssh id_rsa lines in. When the client applies

Hi all, I''m sure you''re all wondering what the heck is going on with development and why there are so many open tickets. Hopefully this email will answer those questions for you. REST Development ====================== First, I''ve found the REST work to be significantly more complicated than I''d feared. The plumbing is nearly all done and the majority

Hi all, I''m wondering how people are handling OS X package installers that require reboots (e.g. 10.5.3) with Puppet - specifically how you get them to install without totally irritating your users. Specifically my client environment is 100% laptops, and many of them voyage home with users each day so just telling puppet to install them at 1am and to hell with user data*, so

I got tired of restarting my puppetmaster when it stopped responding and finally switched to mongrel last night. When running under mongrel, what sort of concurrent connection rates are people able to get? I dont know how many individual puppetmaster processes I should spawn, or how to tell when I should span more. Perhaps I need more than two, because this morning I had a look at how

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all We''re currently looking at the next release of Facter and the future direction of the tool. I''d like to try and prompt some discussions on facter and what people want from it. As a starter here''s some (although not all) of the ideas we''ll be working through: 1. Namespaces - add a namespace or tiered

Hi , just starting off with Puppet on Macs. initially we are planning for a small group of machines. If successfull we plan to span it to entire environment in a phased manner. I have a couple of newbie questions. Do i have to use custom script to create and maintain user/group accounts as far as i have read i can manage passwords ? Can i use puppet fileserver also as sourcedir for pushing

I want to manage cronjobs as a " file " in solaris through puppet and not using the puppet cron resource. I will be managing the file /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root. I want the cron file to be same across all servers except some servers will have additional cron entries. How can I append to the file /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root , something like appendifnosuchline in cfengine? Can

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

Hello, I have 680 hosts reporting into a central puppet server. Yesterday I made a change to site.pp and the nodes/foo.pp and nodes/ bar.pp files to push out some new files (a script to enable LDAP) and it seems that only a handful of stores have downloaded the file and run the script. (I don''t have reporting setup yet other than on a few clients which I did manually) If I ssh into a

Can anyone who''s having this problem please send details? I''m trying to reproduce it -- I''ve got 5 clients concurrently retrieving 200 10k files made of random binary, and I can''t get any corruption or memory growth at all. Is everyone experiencing the problem using Mongrel? Webrick? What versions of ruby? Are only big files affected? Small files?

I''ve got a first version of a doc explaining how multiple environment support will work in the next release: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMultipleEnvironments As always, comments are appreciated. Even if you just don''t understand what the doc says, please let me know. It''s clear that the community is generally unhappy with the documentation I
