I see this in my logs: Nov 7 10:29:23 sn-008 puppetd[3048] nss_ldap: could not get LDAP result - Timed out and I''m not sure what Puppet is doing that relates to ldap. Grepping for LDAP in my manifests yields only references to managing File[''/etc/ldap.conf''] The server is setup for ldap to manage passwd, group, sudo, netgroups, but this should be transparent to any

There was a discussion a while ago about adding inheritance to definitions. There is a need for a way to specialize parameters while allowing passing other options. This comes up with remotefile where it would be nice to have a default server location but not specify all the parameters (and their defaults) in the definition. Was there a change to the syntax? Is there a way to accomplish this?

What is the right way to write definition so that defaults can be overriden? $puppetdir = "puppet://$server/files" define remotefile($source, $owner = "root", $group = "root", $mode = 0644, $backup = false, $recurse = false) { file { $name: mode => $mode, owner => $owner, group => $group, backup => $backup,

Hi, I am developing an end user WWW-based front end for Rails for my system integrator and developer colleagues to use to easily view and search our Puppet configs via a Rails app. I set up the SQLite storage option on the server and the puppet tables are being populated in /var/puppet/state/, but foreign keys for everything except host_id in resources are not being set. Is this expected

I have found a few issues with puppet and the up2date provider (version 0.22.4) that I''d like to run by those who use up2date (to see if others are experiencing the same issues). 1. Puppet doesn''t seem to find the latest updates of packages that are already installed. In looking at "/usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/package/up2date.rb", I found that

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,

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

I''m trying to scale up Puppet and am wondering if I can use Puppet in an odd way. I''m looking to use Puppet as an authoritative source for all the configuration done to a cluster. That includes fstab''s, modprobe.conf, etc. This reduces duplication. I''m using SystemImager on a cluster and would like to run Puppet during the install, so when the node reboots, it

I am trying to write a definition that downloads and extracts a tar file if the destination directory does not exist. The tar file won''t change and does not need to be download and extracted if it changes. The definition I am using now is: define remote_tar($source, $directory) { remotefile { "/tmp/$name.tgz": source => $source, } exec {

I have this config: # BL00070 - Disable NFS service {["nfs","nfslock","netfs","portmap"]: ensure => stopped, enable => false, } user {"rpc": ensure => absent, provider => "useradd" } user {"rpcuser": ensure => absent, provider => "useradd" } file

For example, I have a bunch of package resources defined for packages which are contained in the yum repositories defined by the yumrepo resources. If the package is installed first, then it will fail because the repository is not available. I know about "require". But I would prefer not to add a direct dependency on the source repository. Is there an easier way to do this? What

Hello, I have two Vmware images, with 256MB of RAM memory each one, running puppetmasterd for the server and puppetd for the client. It''s normal that my puppetmasterd and puppetd occupies almost 10% of RAM memory each one? They aren''t doing anything especial, just listening on the ports. Thanks.

I think I''ve got every fix except one in that''s going to make it into grover, which I''ll hopefully be releasing tomorrow. I plan on adding Tim Stoop''s patches for home directory management (#432), but everything else is getting pushed to the next release at this point. I''ve fixed all of the major bugs, or at least I think I have. If

So I am beginning the long process of learning puppet... and it seems that I am missing some vital things. My systems are RHEL-4, and i have installed the puppet/facter/puppetmasterd from dlutter@redhat.com''s archive. [root@canopus puppet]# rpm -qa | egrep ''puppet|facter'' | sort facter-1.3.6-1.el4 puppet-0.22.2-1.el4 puppet-server-0.22.2-1.el4 on the client I

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to parse individual manifest files as part of a pre-commit hook in subversion. I am looking for something like puppetmasterd --parseonly, but that will work on individual files. This way I can reject a commit if it does not pass. Any ideas? TIA

Is it possible to have a file copied from the fileserver but only when it doesn''t exist? I want to prevent changes on the client from being wiped out if it is different. We have a couple of config files that the DBAs are resistant to managing through puppet. They currently manually deploy changes and I don''t want those changes wiped out if the server isn''t updated. I

Hello, Several machine cannot joint the cluster after a reboot. Here is a example of the error : caserta kernel: CMAN: Join request from como.dmz.lexum.pri rejected, node ID 3 already in use by ancona.dmz.lexum.pri All cluster.conf are the same (checked with md5sum) I googled this but did find nothing Any ideas? tx

How are people upgrading puppet itself on their hosts that run puppetd? Can puppet be used to upgrade to a new puppet package via gem, rpm or some other package provider? How do you handle restarting? Just hoping theres a better way than "ssh and a for loop" or having to have another configuration management system installed.

Hi all, I''ve now finished all of the functionality I plan to add in the next release, so all that remains is closing as many open bugs as possible. I''ve gone through and marked all of the bugs I specifically plan on fixing with the ''minor'' milestone. If you have a bug in the db[1] that you think needs to be fixed in the next release but is not

Hello, I have recently run across the following error: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml/rubytypes.rb:315: [BUG] Segmentation fault This has happened after adding a particularly large template file with ruby 1.8.1.
