similar to: Re-setting groups each run?

Hi all, I''m a new puppet user and I''m running into some weirdness around creating users on solaris. (puppet version 0.23.2) The virt_all_users way of managing users seems pretty reasonable, but I don''t see how to deal with user specific groups with that. I have: class virt_all_users { @user { "seph": ensure => "present",

I''ve spent the last week or two poring over the documentation and setting up my first puppet environment, and while I''ve figured out how to do most of what I want to do with it, I have some questions that I haven''t been able to find answers for... * Can I match parts of a facter fact? In particular I have hostnames that include the environment as part of the

Hello, I am rather new to Puppet and am starting to test it out for use on a client''s servers. I am running into difficulty with node behavior. I want to specify a different firewall for every server. The default "basenode" works (applies the various files/functions/etc to all the servers just fine). However, when I specify the following (see nodes.pp, specifically),

Hi, I have several Debian servers with puppet 0.23.2. Part of my manifest looks like this: class virt_all_users { @group { "andy": ensure => "present", gid => "1000" } @user { "andy": ensure => "present", uid => "1000",

I would like to do a case statement based on different vlans. If a person does a case statement on $ipaddress provided by facter, can you match regex expressions such as case $ipaddress { "192.168.1.[0-9]+": do something "192.168.2.[0-9]+": do something else } Also, would this best be solved by a case statement or other functionality within puppet? Thanks

I would like to write up brief tutorial/documentation on how to manage /etc/passwd using puppet. While this may seem pretty straight forward to some...the documentation is not. We have been able to create a manifest that defines all of our users "virtually" and are able to "realize" users and add them to the system(s) running puppetd. Is there a way to simply realize all users

Puppeteers, One of the more ... interesting components of our configuration has been how we''re handling users. We don''t have an LDAP solution (yet), so we''re using Puppet to handle users. This isn''t overly complex, at least at first glance. We have three types of users. * System admins * Web developers * R&D developer The system admins have userids on all

Hello, Can I use wildcards on the node''s name/address? For example, I want something like this: node ''server-*.domain.com'' { .... } where ''*'' is a number. If this is not possible, there''s another way of reaching this behaviour? Thanks.

Hello, Consider the following; You have a number of sites, all controlled by puppet. You have identified which files that are common to every host, and then which files are common to any particular site. Finally, you have the files which are private to the node in question. What I was wondering was if it would be possible to have some sort of directory hierarchy which has some kind of

I''m trying to set puppet up to manage users and groups on an OpenBSD Samba server, but puppet doesn''t want to handle group names with spaces. I know this horribly ugly, but compatibility with windows clients seems to demand groups like "Domain Users" and "Domain Computers", and puppet chokes on them even though the underlying OS handles them at least well

Greetings, Shouldn''t puppetd -o --ignoreschedules ... imply that splay* options are ignored :-) If that''s not the intended behavior could we get a --run-now that ignores splay* and schedules? Cheers, Ryan

Hi all, I''m trying to get puppet working for the first time, and I''ve run into something that''s got me stumped. This is all on Solaris 10/x64. The initial startup of puppetmasterd wasn''t working, and it appeared to be related to the SSL certs not getting generated properly. I managed to trace that down to the fact that facter isn''t finding the

Hi folks, I''m working on building up a puppet infrastructure, and I''m having the darndest time putting it all together. I''ve read through as many of the docs as I can find. I''ve read the best practices guide. And I''m still not grokking how to do what I want to do in puppet. I''ve spend enough time with cfengine that I''m sure

Hi folks, I'm trying to estimate bias-corrected percentile (BCP) confidence intervals on a vector from a simple for loop used for resampling. I am attempting to follow steps in Manly, B. 1998.

Hi, Is it possible to have an array as the output of a custom fact? And then to pass it into a template in Puppet? I currently have a fact that looks like this: Facter.add("exports") do setcode do case Facter.hostname when (/thishost/i): [ "/local", "/local2" ] end end end & a template like this: <%

I''m seeing these in my logs on my puppetmaster: puppetmasterd[4111]: Could not store configs: SQLite3::SQLException: SQL logic error or missing database: DELETE FROM fact_values WHERE "id" = 8 currently this is 0.24.0 relect from some previously collected resource that wasn''t cleaned up? upgrade issue? nothing to worry about? that''s the only

In my puppet client I have puppet.conf defined puppet server as mypuppet server = mypuppet.example.net Not sure why the puppet client puppet-test is still sending these noises to the syslog Jun 10 13:36:23 puppet-test puppetd[10863]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Could not find server : getaddrinfo: node name or service name not known Jun 10 13:36:23 puppet-test puppetd[10863]: [ID 702911

Dear all Please, can you advice me how to compute an error, standard deviation or another measure of variability of computed value. I would like to do something like: var(y) = some.function(var(x1),var(x2),var(x3)) for level F1 (2,3,...) Let say I have some variables - x1, x2, x3 (two computed for levels of factor F and one which is same for all levels) and I want to compute y =

I have a question about princomp(mva) that I hope isn't too newbie. I used the sample data from Table 1.1 in "Manly (1986/1994) Multivariate Statistical Methods: a primer. Chapman and Hall" on sparrow body measurements. I rescaled the data to mean 0 and SD 1, and the covariance matrix is: V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V1 1.0000000 0.7349642 0.6618119
