I''ve got puppet to do some interesting things in my development farm. However getting a file to disk has me stumped. I''m pretty sure I''m making a simple mistake but I''ve been over it and I don''t see it. Aside: the Type Reference claims that ''it is expected that the file element will be used less and less to manage content''. Is

I am new to Puppet and very eager to apply it to a project. But I am somewhat stymied by the learning curve. So far I''ve found many very simple examples of how to modify a file or add a user and a very complex example http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/CompleteConfiguration . I have not been able to find any other examples of a total configuration tree (ie /etc/puppet/*)

I''m guessing this is a common use case, but I wasn''t able to find anything in the site FAQ. We''re looking at using Puppet on about 100 servers to control which user groups have access to which servers. The use case is as follows: We have Groups of servers, for example: CUSTOMERservers (serverA, serverB, ...,serverK) ADMINISTRATIVEservers

Hi, I''ve just changed my debian preseed configuration to install the debian unstable package of puppet v0.22.1. As part of the preseed I have a late command that clobbers the /etc/init.d/puppet file into using the puppet standalone program and not the puppetd (as this is what I''m using). Since the upgrade to 0.22.1 every boot hangs during the initd. Going into standalone mode

I was finally able to get ldapnodes [1] working on our puppetmaster so i''m able to start working on the fun stuff. In the last few days it has become critical that we come up with a better way to manage the configuration of our Solaris zones. I am planning to write a recipe that provisions the zone [using the zone resource type], but would like to avoid having to keep a stockpile

Not that I''m much of a Solaris guy, and definitely not a Solaris 10 guy, but since nobody else had posted anything yet: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetSolaris#Solaris10 The good news is that it appears to be a completely hands-off puppetd installation. Just sign the client key afterwards on the puppetmaster and you''re set. The bad news is that it''s

i''ve managed to get 2009.06 installed in a Xen DomU on Linux Dom0. it''s currently ''up'' with a static IP, and i can successfully ssh into the box as either root or ''myuser''. all network/login settings seem to survive reboot. i''ve set up for VNC to the DomU. i can connect, and am at the Gnome login window. but, neither

If you want to use row names to take a row subset of a data.frame then there is a bug when - One row has a name which is a completion of another row name - The shorter name comes after the longer one - You want to retrieve the row with the shorter name An example: R> x <- matrix(1:4, 2, 2, dimnames=list(c("abc","ab"), c("cde","cd"))) R> x cde

Hi all, I am wondering how do I pull data from a remote host without running a daemon. PUSH command I would like the below statement be turned into a PULL from remote host instead. /usr/bin/rsync -e ssh --archive --sparse --compress --update --verbose --stats --progress --exclude=cdersync.tar.gz --exclude=*.bz2 --exclude=*.jpg --exclude=*.mp3 --exclude=ZDE --exclude=*.rpm --exclude=*.sit

Me, I?ll take GNOME 3 and all its warts over CDE any day of the week. CDE never would have *evolved* to be the equal of GNOME; it had to be destroyed to make room. But it doesn't matter how pretty Gnome3 is on some other box.

Dear colleagues, I signed up for this list to learn more about CentOS and the language. I ask you to understand me and help me to better understand the language and the system. For most phrases I'm using Google Translate but I've been struggling to read and understand without it. Whats is CDE? This word was written in "Red Hat is Planning To Deprecate KDE on RHEL By

I'm trying to configure my Solaris 9 pam.conf for CDE login/password expiration using ADS security on W2003. If my AD account password is in good standing, my config works great in /etc/pam.conf. However - I'm having trouble getting it to recognize that my password in AD has expired to ask me to reset it on the CDE screen. With the config below - it just tells me "login

Hi, is there a way to take a dataset and extract numeric columns and create interaction columns from it automatically? For e.g. there are 5 columns of data: A,B,C,D,E. CDE are numeric. Can someone provide code to automatically create more columns such as: 1) C*D, C*E, C*D*E, (C+E)/(D+.01 (to avoid divide by zero), (D+E)/(C+.01 (to avoid divide by zero), (C+D)/(E+.01 (to avoid

That may be, but in view of the fact that you can even get a version of CDE that works (very well) on Centos 7 (https://github.com/dcantrell/cderpm if you're interested), I find it

Ok, trying to bypass the usual flames (I used CDE for years, then KDE until it got dumbed-down too much, and we all know how GNOME has turned out) ... I've decided to try out xfce on CentOS 7. I grabbed xfce from epel by installing the following via yum: epel-release @xfce So far it's pretty good, and is giving me the basic features I'm looking at without getting in my way.

Hi, I have a legacy (started via /etc/rc3.d/ script) service that I want to restart when its config file changes. The service command fails because it assumes the use of svcadm. I guess what I want to do is on the config changing, and being uploaded from the master it runs a script. Is there a simple example of how to do this ? Regards, Andrew
