similar to: $operatingsystem variable.

Greetings. Long story short ... configuration changes were made to my puppet clients while my puppet server was unavailable. I would like to run puppetd in such a way that it will list what files it would replace, but not actually replace them, so that I can synchronize my server with my various clients. rsync has a -n (--dry-run) option that does this. But I can''t find one in

It seems like a very common expectation that the following code would work: class boo { $me = "/something" file { $me: ensure => present } } class yay inherits boo { $me = "/something/else" } Yet, as many have found to their chagrin, it does not work. Should it? I believe I know how I could make this work: Create a single variable namespace for class

I have a machine with two swap partitions (sda2 and sda8). Both will have none as mount point. When I try to use puppet (using mount type) for managing fstab I get problems because "name" in both instances (i.e. mount path) will be "none". How should I fix this within puppet? Regards Halvard Moe

From looking at the Facter code, it looks like the ''operatingsystemrelease'' fact is currently a mirror of the ''kernelrelease'' fact. I''d like to implement this fact so that it returns the major version of the operating system, eg: Debian Sarge: operatingsystemrelease => 3.1 Debian Etch: operatingsystemrelease => 4.0 RHEL3 update 8:

Hi, I want to introduce "Proxmox" as new value in $::operatingsystem. "Proxmox" is based on Debian, so the normal value is currently "Debian". To change that, I just write a custom fact based on the facter fact "operatingsystem" Facter.add(:operatingsystem) do > ... > setcode do > ... > elsif

When Samba joins to AD, net creates 'Computer' object in target AD. Object 'Computer' has attributes operatingSystem and operatingSystemVersion, which automatically setup in properly value, when native Windows join to AD. I offer a patch to utils/net_ads.c to do similar way - set up operatingSystem to "Samba" and operatingSystemVersion to Samba version, when Samba

Hi all, just installed the puppetlabs-mysql module for puppet on my Puppet server which is an Amazon Linux (based on RedHat), but I get this error when I run puppet agent --test : *err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Unsupported osfamily: Linux operatingsystem: Amazon, module mysql only support osfamily RedHat and Debian at

Hi, From looking at the puppetd --help, there is not currently (at 0.22.4) a method of specifying tags in the puppetd.conf. I was hoping to use this for the following reason: Currently, I use ''noop = true'' in my puppetd.conf, and run ''puppetd --no-noop {tags}'' to install the configurations that I am happy with. This is because I''m currently

Hi list, We've been looking into updating? operatingSystem and operatingSystemVersion attributes automatically and periodically (so version remains correct after OS upgrades) but quickly found out the machine account principal does not have enough permissions as it would error out with INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS. As Windows /is /able to update those attributes I've been doing some

Hi All, I think Im having a mental block here. For some reason I just cant get my head round relationships. What I have is the following. 4 tables 1) Hosts 2) Software 3) OperatingSystem 4) Company In my terms (which are most likely wrong) a company can have lots of hosts, a host has lots of software, a host has one operating system. So should my models have the following relations in them?

Hi i''m trying to describe some class with a package to install, which should work on different linux-distro''s as well on linux and openbsd: class vim { package { ''vim'': name => $operatingsystem ? { centos => vim-enhanced, default => vim, }, alias

Hi all, First off, we''re running Puppet 2.7.6 with Ruby 1.8.7 on CentOS 6.0. Now, I''m using tildes in a template to prevent newlines from appearing but ruby/puppet is choking on them. */tmp/puppet$ cat test.erb* Line 1: Line 2 will exist if running on CentOS. <% if operatingsystem == "CentOS" ~%> Line 2: Yay, we''re running CentOS. <% end ~%>
