Hello. Hope you can help me further. I can vaguely remember that once I saw a reference how to preconfigure debconf in puppet manifests. So you can define answers in debconf inside of manifests. No idea where anymore. Anybody knows? greetinx Christo

I''ve submitted the following to howtoforge.com for approval. My plan is to create similar docs for OpenBSD, RHEL and installing from source. I''d certainly appreciate comments on how to improve the document, and feedback on errors. http://nixnotes.org/puppet.html Kent -- "It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me, and I

Hello, I have been running multiple exec scripts that could run in parallel. Does puppet run as much as possible in parallel? If it does not, is there a way to specify that actions may be run in parallel? Also, is puppet a multiple or single thread application? Thank you, -- Rob -- ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sucker-punch spam

Why doesn''t the yum provider support version, I tried added ensure -> ''ver'' and it barfs up (on clients) with: <snip> err: //stan.gbuild.org/any-host/java/Package[j2sdk]/ensure: change from 1.4.2_12-fcs to 1.4.2_13-fcs failed: Package provider yum does not support specifying versions at /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/ java.pp:13 </snip>

Hi all, Just reading through Luke''s interview on computerworld.com.au and I came across this statement: "This topic comes up on the list periodically, however, and most people are very tight-lipped about what they''re doing with Puppet." Being the chattermouth that I am, I''d like to take this opportunity to tell you all what we''re (that is, my

Following Luke''s very successful Puppet talk at GLLUG in London, which was so over-subscribed there were people queueing outside and pressing their little faces up against the glass, I wonder if the market will bear a London Puppet meet? If there are more than two or three people interested it might be worth arranging something, perhaps a pub session where we can talk about what

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

How are people upgrading puppet itself on their hosts that run puppetd? Can puppet be used to upgrade to a new puppet package via gem, rpm or some other package provider? How do you handle restarting? Just hoping theres a better way than "ssh and a for loop" or having to have another configuration management system installed.

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

Hi All, I asked on IRC but didn''t have everything organized and most people seemed busy. Hoping someone can see what I''m missing here. I''m trying to create a network module, used similar to the ''users'' configuration described in the Best Practices document. I have a users module which has that and it works with similar syntax to below. If I

Hello, Mike Noyes and myself have populated http://wiki.rettc.com with the shorewall FAQ. This wiki is running MediaWiki, http://www.mediawiki.org. Currently, a couple items are not complete. I have just begun a heavy semester of mathematics/physics studies, and do not have much time to give to this. But, it is online, and seems to be stable. I will keep an eye out for abuse, and limit

We have a Xen 3.0 / Linux kernel 2.6.15 machine with the domU''s configured for shared /home directories. One of the domU''s is an NFS server, exporting /home, and the other domU''s all mount this. It all functions fine, but it''s pretty slow. I tried untarring a recent Linux kernel tarball. On the NFS server domU this takes about 25 seconds. I didn''t

To start I will say I have read through the read "Problem with threads" to try and work around this problem, but I do not think I understand what is happening enough to make use of the info I found there. My app is pretty basic and does some text processing on 2 files and uses WIN32OLE to take the data and put it an excel sheet. The processing is really fast, but loading up Excel

Hello all, puppet hangs while trying to restart a daemon when the associated config file changes, here the log: Mar 19 11:30:04 ingentTest puppetd[27390]: Starting Puppet client version 0.22.0 puppetd[27390]: Starting configuration run puppetd[27390]: (/ingenttest/qualsevolnode/guaita[guaita]/File[/etc/guaita.conf]/content) synced puppetd[27390]:

I finally got my cfengine configs all objectified and separated into service-based configurations. But there are still many things that cfe can''t or won''t do very well, so I''m looking for a replacement. What about puppet? I am looking for something that I can use to manage services and applications, not hosts and files. It seems like puppet may have inherited some of

I asked on IRC but no one responded. Suppose the following: class basenode { include users include security class webserver { include apache, php } } node web1a { include basenode::webserver } Does node web1a imply including users and security specified under class basenode as well? Similarly, does this mean the same thing? class basenode { include users include security }

Yesterday, I switched our node structure from using node basenode, node nodetype inherits basenode, to using node classes per the changes discussed recently on this list and as defined in the wiki:GlossaryOfTerms. In the manifest, we have a syslog module which sets up all the components of syslog-ng we''re using. The ''syslog'' class is used by default on clients and then

Hey all, i have attached a module which installs SSL-Root-certificates in Debian and Darwin. One thing is left to do for darwin: check whether the certificate is installed already. Until I have figured out how to do this, The test is rather simple. There is a class called dfncertificates defined in this module which gives you a hint how the module is used. Have fun, comments are welcome. udo.
