Hi all, I''m a new puppet user and I''m running into some weirdness around creating users on solaris. (puppet version 0.23.2) The virt_all_users way of managing users seems pretty reasonable, but I don''t see how to deal with user specific groups with that. I have: class virt_all_users { @user { "seph": ensure => "present",

Hi, How big a template file can be? When I tested with a kind of large file (about 23KB, 570 lines), puppetmasterd ended up with a segmentation fault. Then I made the file shorter than original (about 6KB, 145 lines), the file was created but it is shorter than it should be. What I have is just 3994 bytes and 80 lines. Replacing the string is done correctly. I would like to know the limit of

I''ve spent the last week or two poring over the documentation and setting up my first puppet environment, and while I''ve figured out how to do most of what I want to do with it, I have some questions that I haven''t been able to find answers for... * Can I match parts of a facter fact? In particular I have hostnames that include the environment as part of the

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

We have resources that, from time to time, are selected to be removed (unmanaged). When it comes to ssh keys, fstab... this leaves a lot of stuff behind that we don''t want. Is there a simple way to remove the unmanaged data so we can keep the systems clean. Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

There''s definitely enough complexity in some of the modules out there to warrant solid test coverage, especially if people start extending a module to support more distributions and OSes, while trying to keep the existing support working. That''s even before you start thinking about functions, facts, and native types. They''re *really* in need of solid testing, being all

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",

I constantly get told I should just create a DSL in Ruby, instead of having a separate, custom language. This has, unsurprisingly, come up multiple times here at OSCON. So, I decided I''d see if I could hack something up and see how it looked. This is the first thing I could come up with in terms of the basic functionality: #!/usr/bin/ruby class Base file "/etc/passwd",

Hello Im just been working with puppet, the first usecase i have is to set up a system to create users and then push ssh keys on this machines in the create users .ssh files. I just started with puppet so i am a bit cluesless, Can someone push me in the right direction? Im having a centos enviorment. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet

I''m trying to do something like this using puppet 0.24.8. define removeuser() { @ user { $name: ensure => absent } realize User["$name"] } $removelist = ["bob", "bill", "billy"] @ removeuser { $removelist : } It''s failing with "err: Could not retrieve catalog: Failed to realize virtual resources User[bob] on node

hi, i''m playing with puppet on a few machines, and i''d like to have my puppet vardir on a volume other than the one on which my /var resides. i tried creating a symlink, but puppet seems to blow that away and recreate /var/puppet (!!). i''ve looked around in the source but don''t see anything obvious. am i doing something wrong? thanks, scott

Hi, My environment is composed of ~250 workstations hitting a single puppetmaster server, which has been working fairly well up until now. The most recent change has been a migration of a lot of remote file copy objects which were previously handled with cfengine. client side puppetd calls to the puppetmaster.getconfig method are taking unreasonably long, on the order of 2-3 minutes. It

So when puppetd crashes/whatever, and a pid file is left behind, SMF in Solaris will try restarting puppet, but fail. And then it sits there restarting it forever. I''m not sure if I can adjust the flap detection in SMF.. it isn''t disabling the service for "restarting too quickly" because it takes so long to start. Probably because I''m NFS-mounting ruby. The

Hello there. Just to let you know i have just put in production mode puppet on 41 freeBSD 4.7 virtual servers (yes not real servers but "jailed ones"). I had some little problems with facter at first but i have manualy upgraded the servers that where affected by the little "facter does not read his facts" problem i had. I should have missed something in my deploiement.

Anyone ever migrated the puppetca to a different host? What are the steps that are involved?

I''m not sure if this has been posted previously, but I couldn''t find any information on it. I added a cron job via the cron type and it installed properly. Next, I removed the cron type from the manifest. The result was that, while the entry was no longer in the yaml file, the cron entry was not removed! Is this a bug, or the way that it is supposed to function? Thank you,

Hi, How should I handle the combinatorics when one config file must be built for a combination of possible classes? Take for example the amd automounter''s configuration file, which on Debian is found at /etc/am-utils/amd.conf. This is an INI style file which looks like: [fsname1] param1=foo param2=bar [fsname2] param1=baz param2=quag In my case I have one class of machines

Hello, I am rather new to Puppet and am starting to test it out for use on a client''s servers. I am running into difficulty with node behavior. I want to specify a different firewall for every server. The default "basenode" works (applies the various files/functions/etc to all the servers just fine). However, when I specify the following (see nodes.pp, specifically),

Since I had my type development epiphany a couple of days ago, I''ve decided to write down my understanding of developing simple types, at http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PracticalTypes. I''d appreciate comments from people who already know how to develop types as to correctness, and also comments from people who are new to type development about whether it''s a
