Another override question: Is it possible to specify multiple overrides using a list/array? For example: User[games, baduser] { ensure => absent } I''ve tried various syntax manipulations, but nothing seems to work.

I forgot to mention this in my announcement yesterday. Puppet facts are no longer downcased in the language, and string comparisons now default to being case-insensitive. Where your operating system might previously have been ''solaris'' or ''debian'', it is now ''Solaris'' or ''Debian''. However, you can still do comparisons

I testing Puppet 0.19.3. If we decide to use it, we''d deploy it across several thousand hosts. The method described for creating client certificates described in the documentation - running "puppetd --server <server> --waitforcert 60 --test" and "puppetca --sign <client>" - is not practical for our installation. I''ve tried creating

It seems to me that when you have a master server and a client computer, the master doesn''t really need to know the implementation details of the client computer. It''s kinda like a browser from my perspective...the server is just telling the browser what needs to be drawn on the local side. Does the puppet model work like this? If not, I guess what I read didn''t

I have been all over the wiki pages for puppet and I have noticed that all the configuration examples seem vague. Does anyone know of a good solid resource for start to finish configuration of puppetmaster and puppet (server and client)? A step by step guide would be great.

I might have the terminology wrong, but how to a give new puppet providers to the puppet clients? I''m thinking a provider is the thing the puppet client uses to implement a task that the master has given it. Am I way off here?

I''m trying to be able to use puppet to modify an existing firewall on a web server. The idea is that if I use puppet to do this, then if the machine ever has to be rebuilt, aside from backups, I have a documented configuration. I looked at the module that was on the wiki that had a perl program and what not, but I don''t think I''m clear on what my thinking should be

I''ve been watching the thread where Luke is having to spend time defending his position about documentation. Can we get off that? From my perspective, Luke, I''m glad you have documented as much as you have. I''m one of the few who have been a little stymied by what documentation is available, but in no way do I believe berating you for your lack of documentation is a

OK. I thought I would start by looking at how cron.rb in the puppet lib/type works because what I''m trying to accomplish is similar. However, when looking through that, it wasn''t immediately obvious to me how or when the resulting cron file was getting written out. Is this getting stored up in some instance var or something? Maybe getting sent to standard out and some

I''m trying to use mechanize against a site that has four fields in the form. However, those four fields have to be filled in order. So putting something in field one, populates the second field drop down. So I''m thinking that I''ll probably have to call the page multiple times? What sort of things should I be doing to figure out how to interact with this page.

Every time I go to the puppet website, I get the following when I try to click on any of the links, ie: http://www.reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/SimplestPuppetInstallRecipe Thanks! ____________________________________________________________________________________ Got a little couch potato?

Being new to testing and ruby, are there "standard" tests that can be done that test for things like cross site scripting and friends? If not, anyone have ideas on what I might do about testing those sorts of things? I''ll be using rails, also.

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

I''d like to output my rcov data to the screen in ascii instead of html...is that possible using the rake spec:rcov command? Also, is there somewhere that will allow me to search the mail archives...I''m pretty sure someone else has asked similar questions. Thanks for the help.

Is there a way to tell the puppetmaster that I want to import all modules rather than listing each one individually?

Hi all, I''ve just built Mandrake 10.1 on a Compaq Deskpro that I''ve built as a router/firewall and am redirecting port 80 outbound to force users through the Content Filter. I''ve run this setup on Mandrake 9.0 and 10.0 without any problems but this time the following happens. Squid is accessed through port 3128 and Dansguardian via 8080. If I set my browser on a

I poked around the web a little and didn''t run across how to use https when it asks for certificate validation. I''m trying to connect to devices that don''t have valid certificates, and in this case, I don''t care if they are or not. So when I use my browser to ge to the site, firefox asks me to allow the certificate, then one other question, then I get the

Hello community, We are running puppetmaster 0.22.3 with 45 servers attached and we are seeing a lot of messages that say: (err): Could not describe /ssh/sshd_config.RedHat: End of file reached: We were seeing a lot of this with 0.22.1 as well. Interestingly, during the stretch where we were running 0.22.2 (most of April until 2 days ago) we didn''t see this error at all or very

Besides using an exec line with a case statement(to determine the specific os''s disable command), does puppet come with a buit in method to disable a user account?
