similar to: Why can''t puppet find this package?

Still very new to puppet, so go easy :-) Bit of a braindump I''m afraid, but I''d really appreciate any "Yep", "interesting", "No!!!" comments. I''ll start with an example - adding NTP support. This primarily consists of two configs: a) NTP clients - this is quite easy, it''s a templated file requiring the names of the NTP

Hi there, I would like to use puppet to configure two networks and one of the first things I''ve tried to do is to describe ntp configuration. Each network has a ntp server that acts as a proxy for internal nodes, so those internal nodes share the same configuration except for the server they use to get the time. Attempting to describe this I''ve thought of several approaches,

Hi there, After quite a long time out of puppet business I''m back, and the first thing I''m doing is rephrasing my puppet manifests using modules. I started with the NTP module (a classic, I guess). I have (more or less) the following: In modules/ntp/manifests/init.pp: $ntp_localtime = "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid" class ntp { ... some stuff using the

Hi I''m having the following problem and tried already several workarounds, as well benp- tried to help me on irc. I copied the ntp modul from DavidS repo and adapted it in the Service part to run as well under openbsd. Which was just adding some binary if openbsd is the operatingsystem. However then I wanted to run it as well on a gentoo system (on centos, debian and openbsd it was

I am writing my first module for ntp, I have a few different versions of Linux and also releases. The code worked when I only had one flavor of Linux but now I have four and possibly more flavors. My snippet that doesn''t work is as follows; ( I am not even sure this is the route I should be going if anyone has a better way please advise. Thank you in advance) $ntp_service = $ntpdaemon {

Hello. I''m a long time cfengine user, some might say sufferer, and I have finally managed to get around to experimenting with Puppet. So far I''m very impressed. I am trying to get puppet to configure the openntpd config file, from an ERB template, based on the node definition in the site config. What I''m trying to understand is why when I define a variable in a child

Hello, still upgrading to .20.1 and i have another issue that puppet does not regonize anymore my definitions, i use some ensure lines definition in a function.pp file and since then i am unable to make it work. puppetmasterd tells me this: Unknown function sudoensure_line in file /etc/puppet/manifests/./classes/backup.pp the import of the function is my 2 line of the site.pp and i

Hi all, Jennifer Davis from BayLISA has done us the service of already posting the presentation from this past Wednesday night: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8202036065161263530&hl=en http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7740462681265962824&hl=en It''s about 2 hours total, and I can''t promise it''s any kind of amazing presentation, but I do a

i got a little idea there, should not puppet use environement LANG=C when managing facts or packages etc... ? i have LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 and puppet choke on quite a few facts (erors messages with uname for exemple: Pour en savoir davantage, faites: « uname --help ». ) and also with packages updates : /usr/bin/apt-cache policy mysql-client-4.1 => err:

Hello puppet users, I know this is not really a puppet thing but i wanted to know what tools do you use for server provisionning ? I have to build quite a lot of servers for a prject and i need to instal them. Of course puppet take care of the configuration but i wondered if some of you use things like FAI . It seems that i could use puppet to script FAI to install machines. What do you

fact loads: I use facter to search the rsync path and then i write this sudoers line: Cmnd_Alias BACKUPCOMMANDS = /usr/bin/rsync I call puppet like this: puppetd --factsync --server=xxx.yyy.61.131 --waitforcert 60 --test the recipe is: sudoensure_line { sudobackupcommands: ligne => "Cmnd_Alias BACKUPCOMMANDS = $rsyncpath",

Hello, The more complicated my puppet scripts gets, the more ordering issue i meet. Here is a simple thing: I use a default backup policy for the nodes in my backup classe and then, in the node i try to override the defined default but even if they are done one after the other i got an error to say that the override is triggered before the default: include backup

i wonder why this case fail: case puppetversion { ''0.22.4'':{ #ok notice(''ok bonne version'') } default:{ fail("mauvaise version de puppet $puppetversion, downgrade vers 0.22.4") } } gives me: protos:/usr/local/.aqadmin/home%(aqadmin)> facter puppetversion 0.22.4

Hi, I think the answer is no but is it possible to have a facter output from within puppet ? If i type facter on the command line i miss all the fact that puppet download with the factsync feature. How to see the output of facter including those of the factsync file ? -- Cordialement, Ghislain _______________________________________________ Puppet-users mailing list

I''m having a hard time shipping off complete puppet manifests/facts/files within a single versioned container to end nodes because of how strict puppet is about not allowing relative paths, even with runtime command line options. (I can not use the puppet/puppetmaster client/server model because of company policies, organization divisions and personnel issues.) When I export a complete
