Hi, I''m having a problem with templates and a remote node. I have a working puppetserver and and puppet client (on the same server) which successfully runs my manifest(s) and now I''m trying to add a new client on a separate server. It all seems to work except for when I try to use templates. For example : file { "/etc/apt/sources.list":

Hi, I just added an external classifier script, and things are not working as I expected to. Trying to read documentation about ext.nodes and searching the archives I couldn''t come up with any useful results. My classifier script outputs: --- YAML --- classes: - geodns::production::backend environment: production name: z01-06-02 parameters: puppet_server:

Does anyone have any suggestions about how to deal with multiple environments/tiers? For instance, we have several environments ( production, dev, qa, etc.. ) and within each environment, different tiers ( web, data, app, etc ). Each tier is a different IP network segment, so all the hosts in each tier have different configurations for certain things like resolv.conf, ntp.conf and so on. We do

Hello, I have a nested named list structure, like the following: x <- list( list( list(df1,df2) list(df3, list(df4,df5)) list(df6,df7))) with df1...d7 as data frames. Every data frame is named. Is there a way to get a specific named element in x? so, for example, x[[c("df5")]] gives me the data frame 5? Thank you in advance! Best, Friedericksen

Hi, I''m trying to import a gpg key (for repository signing) for my servers root user, with something like this : file { "/etc/company/company-gpg-key": owner => root, group => root, mode => 0644, source => "puppet://$puppet_server/files/backports/company-gpg-key", } exec { "gpg --import /etc/company/company-gpg-key": unless =>

I have done some printf profiling and found that supermin's calls to dpkg for individual packages are quite expensive. Here are some patches that gather all information on demand where possible. On my Debian/unstable-based workstation at home, preparing a minimal appliance using $ ./supermin --use-installed --prepare bash -o supermin.d now takes ~3.5s (previously ~15s). Turning that

What is the view of having / not having global variables in Puppet? Facter variables are global in the sense they are defined in every scope (whereas ''normal'' variables are only available within the scope they are defined in). I could simply add a custom fact for my DoesTheServerNeedASerialConsole flag to Facter, but I''m not 100% sure I should be having the client

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 }

Hello Puppet users, I had talked with Luke about this scenario and was wondering how others would/are handling something like this. Imagine a scenario where all servers will have a specific postfix configuration except for a server or two or three. So, you want to define a file "/etc/postfix/main.cf" and specify the source from your dist tree. But for those exceptional servers,

I am running puppet 3.1.1 and have a site.pp which roughly looks like this site.pp: node basenode { include common } node ''server1'' inherits basenode { include role::appserver } node ''server2'' inherits basenode { include role::webserver } And my common module includes lots of different types of classes for creating base directories, adding in

Hi all, I have created a squid class that also installs squidGuard. When I run puppetd I always get notice: //Node[xxxx.xxxxxx.xxx]/squid/squid::install/ Package[squidGuard]/ensure: ensure changed ''purged'' to ''present'' even though the package is already installed - why is this change in package status happening as it then triggers my exec resource which is

Hello, I''m configuring my linux server with puppet open and is ok. My question is the next; I''ve a declared in mi nodes.pp the next: [.............] node ''basenode'' { include ''baseos'' include ''motd'' import ''useradd.pp'' } #All nodes for my domain node /.*\.example\.com/ inherits

I am trying to get user authentication in a 200X AD to have domain users see the samba shares (RH ES3, samba 3.0.9-1).

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.

OS: FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE Puppet: 0.22.4 OS: CentOS 5.0 Puppet: 0.23.2 Is it currently not possible for puppetd to upgrade itself (0.22.4 -> 0.23.2)? I tried it, and when puppetd attempted to restart itself (using the init provider), it failed to start back up. Perhaps the init provider needs to close all file handles before executing the rc.d scripts? Additionally, I had puppetd update its

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":
