We have often the Problem that some files need to be checked for updates faster than the cycle of the puppet agent. I try to solve this with a script which tries to download the files directly from the fileserver of the puppetmaster. So far i couldn''t get it to work. I don''t know if i got the URL right, i did not find any examples on the REST API documentation for the

Hello, I did make a stupid fault: not commiting changes to version control :-( After the installation of puppet-dashboard, I added a recipe to add report = true to puppet config files on clients. Now all Puppet clients don''t update because of an error... What can be the various reasons for an ''400'' error?? I guess it has something to do with rights. Jun 28 09:52:36 pm

Hey guys, Does anyone know how to change the location of puppet.conf? In my situation, I don''t want to store it under /etc/puppet/puppet.conf or ~/.puppet/puppet.conf -- I''d like to store it under /opt/puppet/puppet.conf in this example. Is there a method without having to symlink, perhaps with an environment variable like PUPPET_CONF=.... ? Thanks for your time, Jason --

Hi, I''ve been using puppet to manage a small Linux network fairly successfully for a while now - thanks. I''ve hit a spot of bother in managing some files, though. There are a number of folders in /usr/local that I want to manage efficiently using puppet - for example /usr/local/share/templates. I want to copy the contents of a number of source folders on the puppet fileserver

Hi, installing puppet at my first site was quite easy (not w/o problems, but still). At the second site, I''ve run into something more serious. First things first - I install puppetmaster on existing server, used to keep LDAP db (my puppetmaster DOES NOT use LDAP, it just tries to coexist on the same machine). The thing is, I need to puppet this baby, so I''m running into a

I have just uploaded a test release of 1.2.3. It includes numerous fixes from the OpenBSD team and should fix the stupid configure bugs of 1.2.2p1. http://violet.ibs.com.au/openssh/files/test/ A detailed ChangeLog is in the directory.

All, I have --confdir=/etc/puppet/common in my /etc/init.d/puppetmaster and /etc/init.d/puppet files, vardir set to /var/lib/puppet in /etc/puppet/common/puppet.conf, and yet, every time I run puppetca it creates /etc/puppet/ssl.

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

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 a ran puppetd -vt against a brand newly build host (which is what I normally do for a new host) and got the usual message: err: No certificate; running with reduced functionality. info: Creating a new certificate request for sega-dev-1. info: Requesting certificate On the puppetmaster, I then list the waiting host with: puppetca --list then sign the key. In this case, I decided that the

Hi Experts, I''m trying to generate my own certificates (all of them, including certs for CA, server and client) for puppet to use. and I''m getting "Could not run: Could not retrieve certificate for puppetsrv and not running on a valid certificate authority" Just wondering what the problem could be?

I installed OpenSSL 0.9.5 in the default location (/usr/local/ssl) on my Solaris 2.7 box, and then tried to install OpenSSH 1.2.2p1. Configure (with no arguments) complains that it can't find working OpenSSL libraries. The last few lines of config.log show a whole bunch of attempts to compile the test code, all failing of course. My /usr/local/ssl DOES have an include/openssl directory

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

I am trying to get a custom fact to sync. The fact is in a module. It will sync if I run puppet with "--pluginsync" but not otherwise. I have "pluginsync=true" in my puppet.conf.
