Hi there, I would like to use puppet to configure two networks and one of the first things I''ve tried to do is to describe ntp configuration. Each network has a ntp server that acts as a proxy for internal nodes, so those internal nodes share the same configuration except for the server they use to get the time. Attempting to describe this I''ve thought of several approaches,

Hello. I''m a long time cfengine user, some might say sufferer, and I have finally managed to get around to experimenting with Puppet. So far I''m very impressed. I am trying to get puppet to configure the openntpd config file, from an ERB template, based on the node definition in the site config. What I''m trying to understand is why when I define a variable in a child

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You folks were so helpful with my last problem I thought I''d try again. I''m attempting to use the services filetype to ensure that ntpd is running on all my hosts. Unfortunately this does not seem to be working on my Gentoo test system. I get the following output on the client log: puppetd[3436]: Starting configuration run

Still very new to puppet, so go easy :-) Bit of a braindump I''m afraid, but I''d really appreciate any "Yep", "interesting", "No!!!" comments. I''ll start with an example - adding NTP support. This primarily consists of two configs: a) NTP clients - this is quite easy, it''s a templated file requiring the names of the NTP

sses, that way autoloading works ok and the classes are found, but that see= ms a bit awkward. <br></div><blockquote class=3D"gmail_quote" style=3D"border-left: 1px solid= rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br><br= >Note that it&#39;s a bit redundant to name your classes that way -- you<br= > can just as

Hi there, I''m running puppetmasterd manually while testing, and I was trying to split my manifest in several parts using import. If I do so whenever I run the puppetmasterd the manifest gets loaded and served correctly: cognos ~ # puppetmasterd -v info: Starting server for Puppet version 0.20.0 info: Parsed manifest in 0.02 seconds info: /var/lib/puppet/files: allowing *.example.org

Hi there, I''m trying to document my puppet manifests, and I have created kind of a template for class documentation. After documenting a few I thought it would be great for complex manifests if we could have a tool that read some kind of standard documentation in puppet manifests and create HTML (or other format) documentation, as javadoc in Java or RDoc (?) in Ruby. So two questions:

Hi there, I''m facing a problem that I think it''s common enough to be solved directly by puppet or at least have a best practice recommended: building a config file from snippets. I''m thinking for example about a dns zone and hosts inside that zone, ldap server and ldap databases, samba server and samba shares, a firewall config and firewall rules,... The first part of

... or better, what is intended to be? I''ve seen references to PuppetShow in IRC, mailing lists and documentation, but still have no clear idea of what it is. Is it just a reporting tool? Will you be able to create manifests or configure nodes from it? Thanks, best regards Jose _______________________________________________ Puppet-users mailing list Puppet-users@madstop.com

Hi there, Maybe another bug? I have the following in site.pp: $localtime = $domain ? { "example.org" => "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid", default => "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid" } If I take this away and put it in another file, and then import that file, I get the following error: err: Cannot reassign variable localtime in file

I''ve started working on a new tool that should help with modifying the configuration of a system under the control of puppet. The tool is called cft (pronounced ''sift'') and is inspired by Gnome''s Sabayon[1] in taht it watches how an admin changes a system and spits out a puppet manifest based on its observations. Cft''s website is

Hi there, I have a problem I don''t know how to solve. Let''s say you have two services, applications, whatever that communicate with each other, and they establish a shared password or key to authenticate to the other part. This happens with DHCP/DNS (I think is called dynamic zone update, the DHCP server updates the DNS zone with information from the dynamically configured

Hi there, I want to manage some files with puppet that control the installation of packages in Gentoo (/etc/make.conf, /etc/portage/*). These files must be downloaded to the client before any package resource is processed, so they are installed correctly. Is there any way to do this? Possible solutions: 1. Include in *every* package require => [ list of files ] inside a case statement, so

hi I''ve read about PuppetReporting at the Trac website. Apparently you are working on integrating the benchmark tests for every type in ruby. Do you have any idea when this will all get implemented? This is a crucial part (and actually a necessary feature) in the configuration management system we have set up using Puppet. grtz Koen Vereeken

Hello, I want a simple operation in a puppet node like restarting the ssh service if it was stopped. My site.pp is simple as this: import "services/*" node default { include ssh } The services directory as a ssh.pp : class ssh { service { ssh: ensure => running, subscribe => File["/etc/ssh/sshd_config"] } } I''ve stopped the ssh service in the

I attempted the following: resources { service: purge => true, noop => true } service { sshd: ensure => running; iptables ensure => running; } And got the following message: notice: Starting configuration run err: Found a bug: uninitialized constant Parse notice: Finished configuration run in 0.47 seconds When I remove the ''resources'' line, everything works

Hi there, I find myself writing a lot of similar required/subscribe parameters, for example in service definitions: package { whatever : ensure => latest } service { whatever: ensure => running, require => Package[ whatever ], subscribe => Package[ whatever ] } Am I doing this correctly, or does subscribe imply require so the require parameter here is unnecessary? Thanks

I would like to configure a linux ntp server on my lan as the ntp server for my windows xp clients I'm not able to come to an understandable solution (due probably to my lack in windows knowledge) I found this in samba archives: CLASS MACHINE CATEGORY !!Time POLICY !!NTPServer KEYNAME SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters PART !!NTP_SERVER EDITTEXT VALUENAME

So I am messing around with puppet dashboard and for the most part for what I am working on it fits the bill for an ENC. The only question I have is I need to pass information about a customer to set up resources and the system can have multiple customers on it. What is the best way to handle complex data? Would I be able to pass json data for example? -- You received this message because you
