Hi, I''m getting a "Could not retrieve dependency" error and I can''t figure why. Someone got a cluestick for me? I''m using the following simplified configuration to ensure sshd is running and gets reloaded when the config file changes: ---- site.pp ---- import "classes/sshd.pp" node obsd42 { include ssh-server } node debian40 { include

Greetings! Are there any plans of using Kerberos for authentication in addition to (or in place of) SSL certificates in Puppet? Kerberos provides mutual, cryptographically strong authentication. A number of different services are Kerberos-enabled (SSH, NFSv4 and HTTP are common examples), and thus use the same authentication mechanism system-wide. At our site, almost all services and users are

I''m trying to come up with a way to manage /etc/puppet on the Puppet server from my workstation. My idea was to place all of /etc/puppet into subversion, check it out to my workstation, commit via ssh, and then use a post-commit to update /etc/puppet. That way any time I made a change in /etc/puppet it would be immediately updated and ready for the next puppetd run. Problem is the

Hi, Anyone think this is a good idea? I have found that there are some exec tasks that I am making that just shell out to ruby to do a one / two line script in the exec line, was thinking it would be nice to have an option for exec to tell it to just eval ruby code passed to it, e.g. exec { ''eval: code to evaluate'':, ... } I know Lane wants users to turn execs into new

Hi, We''re trying to follow the instructions at http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMongrel (Just using a single puppetmaster/mongrel instance and plain mod_proxy for now, instead of balancer one) We got past the "Server is not a class" error by modifying mongrel.rb We also kind-of got past the: /opt/bin/puppetmasterd:293: undefined method `daemonize'' for

I work at a large financial institution (AXA) and we have a large number of DMZs for our partner and internet-facing servers. The only access to the various DMZs is via SSH and no DMZ-initiated connections are allowed back to the internal network. I''d consider putting a Puppet server in the DMZ but no communication is allowed between DMZs either. Has anyone tried tunnelling Puppet

Is there a recommended way to set $FACTERLIB so that Puppet will be able to access custom facts when running as a Red Hat service? If I export $FACTERLIB=/var/puppet/facts and then run Puppet manually I have no problems, but I''m not sure how I should be setting $FACTERLIB when Puppet is running automatically. Cheers, James

Hi all, While I can understand the desire to customise the default Trac site, the new website design appears to me to be a step back in terms of usability in two areas. Firstly, the top fixed navigation banner and bottom Trac banner take up valuable screen space no matter when you have scrolled to in the page. I also find them quite distracting from the content that I''m trying to read.

I''ve checked out the page on adding custom facts for Facter and I see that there are a number of ways to do this. Is there a preferred method of setting system-wide facts? In this case, I''d like to set a "Location" fact which represents the data centre a server is in. Cheers, James *********************************************************************************

I''m in the process of creating Puppet classes to install Munin via Yum on my RHEL4 hosts. Before Yum can be used as a provider, it obviously needs to be installed. I''ve tried requring the Yum package in the Munin classes but I still get an error about "Provider ''yum'' is not functional on this platform". Is there an easy way to require the yum class

I''m receiving a "warning: Could not get config; using cached copy" when running "puppetd --test" with the latest puppet and puppet-server RPMs from dlutter''s site. Has anyone else seen this problem or can give me an idea of where to start looking for the problem? James *********************************************************************************

Just wondering if anyone is using a backend database other than sqlite, and if so, how easy/hard it was to configure. I''m constantly receiving "SQLite3::BusyException: database is locked..." which I presume is due to sqlite''s relatively coarse locking method.

I''ve just noticed that Puppet is failing to automatically apply changes when running as a Red Hat service. Changes get applied with no problems or errors when I run Puppet manually with "puppetd --test" but fail with a "Could not apply complete configuration: Parsed Providers must define a default target" error in /var/log/messages when the service runs automatically
