-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey, would it be very hard to improve file''s source parameter to support downloading a file from a http server? I got some quite huge files (~100MB) to distribute and update on each of the servers, so doing this with puppet:// is a mess (and mostly failes with the known buffer error).

Is there a way to exec something on purge?

I''m trying to manage network files on two nodes, "vico" and "backup." The component "vico_network" below works fine. define vico_network ($owner = ''root'', $group = ''wheel'', $mode = ''644'', $cro_int = ''ne3'', $carp0_skew = '''', $carp1_skew =

Apologize ahead of time if this has been asked before. Without using external commands, can puppet back-up files and directories to the puppetmaster server? If I delete or change a file, I can back the file, but all I want to do is to take a snap-shot of some configurations. If I can''t do it natively, has anyone created a script that does so using external commands (such as tar, gzip,

hello, i wondered if it would not be interesting to have some filters function in puppet like filter_integer(), filter_prelregex, filter_text, filter_email or such so we can validate and make our defines a little more foolproof :) i particulary see filter_regex as usefull in quite a lot of exec that manipulates text files. What do you think about this ? -- Cordialement, Ghislain

Hi, I am sure this subject has come up before. I did not find anything on Google that comes close to what I am trying to do. I would like to manage different groups on multiple nodes using puppet and do not know of a good way to do it. Does anyone have an idea of how I can accomplish this? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Mouncef _______________________________________________

Has anyone used Puppet to manage Solaris Patches? If so could you pass on any tips. For those without Solaris experience, you can only describe the configuration of a Solaris system with the full combination of Installed Packages Installed Patches Applied Configuration

It seems like a very common expectation that the following code would work: class boo { $me = "/something" file { $me: ensure => present } } class yay inherits boo { $me = "/something/else" } Yet, as many have found to their chagrin, it does not work. Should it? I believe I know how I could make this work: Create a single variable namespace for class

OS: FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE Puppet: 0.22.4 OS: CentOS 5.0 Puppet: 0.23.2 Is it currently not possible for puppetd to upgrade itself (0.22.4 -> 0.23.2)? I tried it, and when puppetd attempted to restart itself (using the init provider), it failed to start back up. Perhaps the init provider needs to close all file handles before executing the rc.d scripts? Additionally, I had puppetd update its

Hi, [First, a quick introduction... I''m one of the sysadmins at Koumbit.org, and we''re evaluating puppet for managing our modest server farm. I''ve already started writing recipes and manifests and intend to share those with this community. Part of my time worked on this will be directly paid by Koumbit.] So we''ve got a few half-finished puppet modules here:

Hi Creating an account on solaris using the Œuser¹ type seems to create a locked account. This then needs to be unlocked using passwd ­u user I would have thought creating an unlocked account would be more useful. Or an extension to the user type that accepts a lock => (true|false) setting. To test if an account is locked, use passwd ­s user HTH Gary

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 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",

Can anyone help me with this error I am having. I am using puppet on Debian Etch, version 0.20.1-1 from apt works OK, but due to one or two problems we want to use the version from testing, 0.23.2-10, but the puppetd just fails upon startup spitting this out: Starting puppet configuration management tool/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:54:in `open'': execution expired (Timeout::Error)

So I''ve done some Mac OS X pkgs for the latest Facter and Puppet, as well as a combined mpkg for them both. Jeff McCune and I are doing a fair bit of testing on them this week in preparation for MacWorld, so I wasn''t going to upload them to the official site for another few days, but they''re looking pretty good. http://explanatorygap.net/puppet/Facter_1.3.8.pkg.zip

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

This was a fun one to track down... I was trying to use the append_if_no_such_line script from the wiki and it was working fine EXCEPT when I threw a notify at it. The notify appears to completely ignore both unless and onlyif within the exec for some reason. If I put the same test in the actual command line, it works fine. Example: unless => "/bin/grep -Fqe ''$line''
