Is it possible to install a solaris streams package with puppet? As some of my machines are not allowed to be a nfs client, I transfer the bunch of packages to these clients with the file type and puppet:// ... If the packages are in filesystem format there can be hundreds of files within large packages. It takes a huge amount of time to transfer all of them. So I''ve changed them into

Hi, I downloaded 3.0.20 from samba.org, ran makepkg.sh to create samba pkg for Solaris. The install base for the new version locates in /opt/samba and the smbd locates in /etc/samba.

Hi all Am i doing this right? Is this the right list to post to? If not, a quick lesson in ettiquette for me would not hurt. As I am both just starting to use newsgroups and SSH, I am not entirely familiar with the processes. I have a question about ssh-rand-helper. First an outline: I am currently using the SSH packages for Solaris 2.8 available at sunfreeware.com. The environment is

I have a minor issue with the 'buildpkg.sh' script in the contrib/solaris directory for OpenSSH (3.4p1 in my case) that I'm hoping might be solvable. First off, I'd like to say that I've been quite happy with the script; for interactive installs, it's worked great. My problem is occurring due to my attempts to make it work non-interac- tively, however, within an init

Hi all, I''ve been looking into having Puppet deploy some larger files and I''m noticing that it ties up puppetmasters quite a bit and can often result in a timeout if the file is too large. Before I submit a feature request for a http method for file sources, I would throw it out to the group and see if anyone had any thoughts on it. Possible benefits of a HTTP source could be

I was finally able to get ldapnodes [1] working on our puppetmaster so i''m able to start working on the fun stuff. In the last few days it has become critical that we come up with a better way to manage the configuration of our Solaris zones. I am planning to write a recipe that provisions the zone [using the zone resource type], but would like to avoid having to keep a stockpile

HI! I am trying to configure the samba 2.2.7 binary from sunfreeware ( package for Solaris 7). Is there any way to override the default install location of /usr/local/samba for the lock files? I do not have access to /usr/local as it is NFS mounted and shared by all Solaris 7 boxes. I can pkgadd to a different root path, and I can -s the config file to the install location, but I cannot

Hello, on a v20z, we have as DOM 0 a Solaris XEN on snv44 64bits and we have as DOM U a Solaris XEN on snv44 64 bits. We then install a pseudo driver in the Solaris DOM 1 XEN snv44: installation is ok and driver works as expected. But on reboot of DOM 1, the driver is no more there (in modinfo, driver not found). Is there something special to do after a pseudo driver installation in a Solaris

Hi folks, I''m about to propose to my current company that we use puppet to manage releases of home grown software. The environment is a mix of Solaris 8/9/10 and RHEL 5&6. I''ve got a handle on how to create recipes to release software into the RHEL environment. The unknown for me is how to manipulate the pkgadd provider to load the locally grown package stream. Can
