similar to: Puppet daemon not working -- works with cmd line

Hi, I have a class to add users to all the host servers. We are in the process to have a coexisting user which belongs in NIS & as well as /etc/passwd. We have NIS clients (yp running) on all host servers. So when running puppet is fails to add or modify user, bcos the user already exists in NIS. Eg: A user pcruise is an existing NIS user. When using useradd or

Hi, I am using file function to copy a directory & its content to few servers. I do it below way. I am not sure whether file uses sync mode or does a copy of every file over & over when something changes. Bcos when running the puppet daemon using puppetd -test it takes a while. Where can I find a list of function like file, user group etc & what args to pass file {

I am using Puppet 0.23.2 I am trying to add a new client -- v26.domain.com This is what I am doing from client side - v26.doamin.com #puppetd --test info: Creating a new certificate request for v26.domain.com info: Creating a new SSL key at /var/lib/puppet/ssl/private_keys/v26.domain.com.pem warning: peer certificate won''t be verified in this SSL session. notice: No

Hi, We are managing user access to servers via puppet based on the groups from LDAP. What we would further like is if any users which are created apart from puppet ie if puppet adds user1 & someone who has created a xyz user on the server. We need to remove that user from that server bcos puppet never pushed it its created by someone apart from puppet. And we can maintain

Hi, I have Asterisk-1.2.18 install with FreePBX & more than 75 extnsion, daily I come accross an issue & try resolving them its either user learning curve or my ignorance.

I am using the user type function as below to create and manage user accounts in RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu, FreeBSD & BSD, I have only tried on RHEL, CentOS it works fine for user creation, but not managing homedirectory.

Hi, We have a PRI connection & when its was on test networks we had echo problems withoutside line. So I bought a TE212P card resolve the echo problem. Which did to an extent. Its using asterisk 1.2.18 & RHEL4-Update 4. But now when we are live, there is a terrible echo between 2 SIP calls. If I call the same extension from outside the voice is clear. I am not sure whats

I''m trying to get puppetrun to work, without luck so far. I have my puppetmaster and clients working fine with the clients polling the master. Now I want to be able to force an update. Using version 0.23.2 On the client I set listen=true and created the namespaceauth.conf file. Restarted puppetd and it appears fine. On the master I run puppetrun as root and get root@plane:/etc/puppet#

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

Hi When using puppetrun to trigger machines to get and apply their configuration, it will only trigger the machine when executing puppetrun for the second time: puppetmaster # puppetrun --host puppetclient puppetclient log: -- snip Apr 13 08:19:49 puppetd[20208]: puppetmaster(172.16.34.12) triggered run Apr 13 08:20:08 puppetd[20208]: puppetmaster(172.16.34.12) triggered run Apr 13 08:20:08

Guys, I seriously could not find this topic in the documentation. What do you do when you need to force puppetd hosts get the new settings from puppetmasterd? What I found was only sending USR1 signal to the client process in order to make it refresh its configuration from the master. But I find it a bit inconvenient for a large amount of hosts. There is also puppetrun which, if I understand

Hi, I am looking for a way, i.e. best practice for managing config changes safely and efficiently. Something like clever module organization could certainly help, but I am looking for something else as well: Is it possible to set up puppetd in a way, that it just listens and reports, but does not apply config changes automatically, and in the same time has the ability to trigger it somehow?

Hi All, I was surprised to notice that a call to noop from puppetrun did not work as expected. on the agent side (for this case the server side..), I ran: puppetd --verbose --no-daemonize (where listen is set in the puppet.conf) on the puppet server side(in this case the client side), I ran: puppetrun --noop --host SERVER notice: SERVER(IP) triggered run info: Caching catalog at

I''m using puppet 0.24.7-4. I have a situation where I have some very long running puppet runs in order to do upgrades (removing applications from load balancers gracefully, et cetera). My puppet runs triggered via puppetrun are finishing successfully: Jun 8 20:31:29 puppetd[10178]: Finished catalog run in 345.18 seconds Puppetrun itself is timing out: err: Connection timeout calling

Hi, I have installed Puppet puppet-0.23.2-1.el4 & puppet-server-0.23.2-1.el4. Now trying to configure. I have a basic config which changes the sudo permission of the file. Currently I am using the puppet server as client. Now I wanted to add all my hosts some linux some unix. So was looking for a config syntax whioh can create groups. Like IT = [ host-1, host2, shost3 ]

Hi, I am trying to get puppet working on Ubuntu as client. I am trying to add user''s & copy some home directory. It worked fine for user creation but not for home directory(I have posted this issue already). But, the issue is I have added some functions to this ubuntu node but when running puppetd -test from client it gets the same old class. It doesn''t get

I was wondering how to trigger a configration run remotely. Is this possible? Looking through the docs, I see mention that puppet can listen on port 8139, but I don''t see that this is the case on my servers. Can someone please enlighten me as to the proper method of doing this, if it can indeed be done? Thanks!

Hello... I need some help with tags. as an example: # pseudo code class ssh { file { "/etc/ssh/ssh_config": # normal stuff tag("dangerous") } file { "/etc/ssh/sshd_config": # normal stuff tag("dangerous") } file { "/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts": # normal stuff tag("safe") } } on client: puppetd --tags

The Big Picture doc says: When configuration needs to be "pushed" to the clients, the Server can be asked to attempt to trigger each client to request "pull" a new host configuration. How does this work? I''ve been using ''puppetd --test'' on the clients while building the manifest, but I''m getting close to going into production, and I
