Hi, I am using a template to create an /etc/exports file. I have a template that looks like this (but results in the puppetmasterd dying on the server when the client updates): <% nfsHomeClients.split.each do |host| -%> /nfs <%= host %>(<%= mainshareoptions %>) <% nfspaths.each do |path| -%> <%= path %> <%= host %>(<%= nfsoptions %>) <% end

Hi, How should I handle the combinatorics when one config file must be built for a combination of possible classes? Take for example the amd automounter''s configuration file, which on Debian is found at /etc/am-utils/amd.conf. This is an INI style file which looks like: [fsname1] param1=foo param2=bar [fsname2] param1=baz param2=quag In my case I have one class of machines

We haven''t been able to use mongrel for testing yet, but in order not to waste time, we did some performance testing with 1, 2 and 4 puppetmasterd/webrick processes. Attached is an HTML page (ripped from our wiki - not pretty, but reasonably readable) which describes the method and results. If someone feels like making some nice graphs, that would be great. If not, I''ll try to

I am consistently getting the following error from puppetd when an exec resource is triggered by a refresh event: Apr 23 10:36:11 mailhub puppetd[37884]: Reopening log files Apr 23 10:36:11 mailhub puppetd[37884]: Starting Puppet client version 0.22.3 Apr 23 10:36:11 mailhub puppetd[37884]: Starting configuration run Apr 23 10:36:12 mailhub puppetd[37884]:

If I use the ''file'' type to sync a file where the parent directory doesn''t exist the sync fails. According to the puppet docs "Puppet will autorequire any parent directories that are being managed". Am i missing something? Example: file { "/tmp/dhcp/dhcpd.include": source => "/tmp/dhcpd.include", } In

I''m running a previously working set of modules with the Puppet master version 3.1.0-rc2. I''m getting the Error: stack level too deep Here is a chunk of the debug Debug: Scope(Class[Zabbix]): Retrieving template zabbix/zabbix.conf.php.erb Debug: template[/etc/puppet/environments/production/modules/zabbix/templates/zabbix.conf.php.erb]: Bound template variables for

I have the following test case: file { sendmail-conf: path => "/etc/mail/${fqdn}.mc", owner => "root", group => "wheel", mode => 0644, links => follow, source => "puppet:///sendmail/${hostname}.mc" } $mail_dir = "/etc/mail" $cf_dir = "/usr/share/sendmail/cf/" exec { build-conf: command => "/usr/bin/m4

The included patch is what I''ve been able to throw together in a few hours after studying the pkgtools code. All I''m using the library for at the moment is to resolve the proper base location of the ports tree, but at least by invoking make directly instead of through portupgrade it works *a lot* better. Is there a proper way to include/require a third party ruby library?

After reading the rc.subr(8) man page and Newburns''s article on the rc.d subsystem[1], It''s clear that a rc.conf.d per service file structure is already natively supported on FreeBSD. I''ve verified this with my own testing: # echo puppetmasterd_enable=\"YES\" > /etc/rc.conf.d/puppetmasterd # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/puppetmasterd start Performing sanity check

Hi- Recently starting using puppet while migrating an existing messy group of systems to some nice new hardware. Things are going incredibly well, and puppet''s functioning great. Have a bit of a headache. I''d like to keep myself from duplicating lots of included classes. Lets say I have this (snippet of a) class: class dbserver { file { "/etc/my_${db}.cnf":

Is there any "correct" way to get puppetmasterd to not spam syslog with (mount[blah]) File source foo does not exist messages when using file source selection lists? I use them quite extensively, so it''s getting quite out of hand. The last resort will be to comment out the offending print statement! -- Russell A.

Has anyone given any thought to using DNS for node information rather than LDAP? You see, I already have all my nodes defined... in BIND ;-). Perhaps something like: foo IN A 10.178.10.1 IN TXT "puppetclass=<class_name>" IN TXT "puppetclass=<class_name>" . . . Ad nauseam -- Russell A.

I''d like to clarify some points about the ports/package system in FreeBSD. I apoligize ahead of time if this is Both packages and ports use the pkgdb system. This isn''t some lame cludge; it''s by design, and the reason is really quite simple. Packages are built from the ports collection. The only real difference between them is the mode of delivery. When you run

Moving to mongrel as our footprint has grown considerably. Configs worked fine before but for some reason we are unable to start puppet on the new host.

Hi all, I've been trying to figure out how to superimpose a histogram on a biplot that shows the relative contribution of each axis. I have been using the NIPALS function (http://biomserv.univ-lyon1.fr/~dray/ files/softwares/nipals.R) to run principal component analyses. Here is a toy example. source("http://biomserv.univ-lyon1.fr/~dray/files/softwares/nipals.R")

I''m a new puppet user. I can''t puppetmasterd to start. I searched this group for the error message I get, but found nothing. Any ideas?

I just started playing with puppet. Unfortunately, it keeps crashing in a variety of places. I don''t have much experience with Ruby yet, so any tips in tracking down these problems would be appreciated. I''m using the Debian package 0.18.4-1. Here''s the output of a couple runs: www01:/home/cwarden# puppetd --verbose --onetime info: Caching configuration at

I just updated to 0.22.2 and am running into a strange issue. I''m starting puppetmaster, and seeing this in my error log: err: /puppetconfig/reporting/File[/Library/Puppet/Generated/Server/var/reports]/ensure: change from absent to directory failed: Cannot create /Library/Puppet/Generated/Server/var/reports; parent directory /Library/Puppet/Generated/Server/var does not exist err:

I have created my first ''fact'', first attempt at Ruby too, and configured the fileserver to server it but when a Fedora (5 or 6) client sync''s puppetd appears to hang. CentOS clients sync and use the new fact fine. Find attached the fact file and the output from ''puppetd --debug --factsync'' on a FC5 client is below. This is a 0.20.1 client and

While running puppetd on a linux client I get the following, the actual spot that the segfault happens varies, but it always happens. This is on ubuntu with the stock apt ruby1.8.4 package. Puppet also installed from apt. Puppet version 0.18.4 It seems very likely that this isnt a bug in puppet per se, but it is tickling a yaml bug (regardless of where it fails, it is always yaml). But I
