We don''t have nearly as many and yet, we see occasional errors ("End of file reached") which seems to indicate the network cutting out. I can''t imagine what would

Just curious as to the functionality of puppet. Does Puppet ensure that a service is up and running as long as puppet is running? Ie, I want to make sure ssh is always running, if for some reason ssh get''s shut down, does puppet start it back up when it does it''s config sync run?

I''m sure everyone has read and committed the Puppet Best Practice to memory by now (I joke). One of the things I''ve written in there deals with trailing commas, which I adopted from the way I used to do multiline in Perl, but I''ve noticed that most people don''t tend to do that in Puppet. Should I revise this or should we all start using the trailing commas?

FYI: We have a custom `checkout'' type which stopped working when migrating from 0.22.4 to 0.23.2-ish. This turned out to have been caused by the location of property.rb changing between 0.22.4 (puppet/type/property.rb) and 0.23.2-ish (puppet/property.rb). (I say 0.23.2-is because I''m using 40491ebe7ca9692b57fb533412ece8fb694b7d4c since it only has a few extra bugfixes over

How about adding a --no-detach option (to be used in combination with --daemon) to rsync so it can be run under Dan Bernstein's daemontools' supervise? If there's interest I'll provide a patch. -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ Santa Clara, CA _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/

Hi, I was wondering if there is any of getting the gem package provider to run non-interactively? When upgrading mongrel it fails because it gets prompted for which version to install: Attempting remote update of mongrel Select which gem to install for your platform (x86_64-linux) 1. mongrel 1.1.1 (ruby) 2. mongrel 1.1.1 (jruby) 3. mongrel 1.1.1 (mswin32) 4. mongrel 1.1 (mswin32) 5.

Hi, I tried to compile rsync2.5.3 on Solaris5.7, and I still got the same errors as Solaris5.8, can you please help me to look at the problem? I got error messages: Configure was run successfully, then I ran make, I got: "batch.c", line 408: operands have incompatible types: pointer to unsigned long ":" pointer to unsigned int cc: acomp failed for batch.c ***

This patch updates the files under popt/ to the latest vendor drop. The only change is the inclusion of a FreeBSD-specific patch to popt.c. This is needed in case somebody decides to build rsync on that platform without using the port. I'm not happy about the wording in popt/README.rsync so I may change it. The patch is available at http://www.catnook.com/rsync-popt-1.5.1.patch Comments

Hi, I have an application which is dying horrible deaths (i.e. segmentation faults) in mid-flight, in production... And of course, I should fix it. But while I find and fix the bugs, I found something I think should be different - I can work on submitting a patch, as it is quite simple, but I might be losing something on my rationale. When Mongrel segfaults, it does not -obviously- get to clean

Is there a way to specify on a per-object basis that Puppet should merely report that an object needs to be updated without actually performing the update? This would make it possible to detect changes to critical objects (e.g. config files) that Puppet shouldn''t try to fix automaticaly. -- Jos Backus jos at catnook.com

[My apologies if this question is deemed inappropriate for this list.] Using OpenSSH, is it possible for a program/script to copy files with known filenames from a remote server (running sshd), without allowing (interactive) ssh access to that server? I.e. ``ssh server ls'' or ``ssh server'' should not be possible (for security reasons), but ``scp server:file .'' should.

Hi all, Not sure if this is a bug in puppet, yum, or just something I''m doing wrong. I''m trying to use puppet to update a package to a particular version and exec a command when that update is applied. The problem is, puppet calls yum which successfully updates the package, but puppet then thinks the update has failed and hence doesn''t trigger the exec. Next

Hi all; I am sure this question has been brought up before, but I could not find any information in the FAQ or docs etc. Quick question; Is there a way of syncing multiple servers simultaneously from 1 source server? Thanks, -- Vaibhav Goel extension 6347

This patch against OpenSSH 3.2.3p1 implements an ssh-agent authentication retry mechanism which is useful when starting many ssh clients in a short period of time. The number of retries and the maximum delay between retries is runtime-configurable using AuthMaxRetries <integer> AuthRetryDelay <seconds> The patch is available at:

Andrew and I thought it might be an interesting experiment to move rsync to using BitKeeper rather than CVS for source code control. For a project with rsync's size and activity CVS is actually fine, but it would be a nice "toe in the water" with BitKeeper to get some practical experience before possibly using it on larger projects. BK is moderately well-proven on open source
