Hi all, One of the major new features in the upcoming release is that Puppet now uses a graph library internally to handle resource relationships. The big benefit to all of you is that you can use this library to turn these graphs into images. The trick, right now, is adding --graph when you run puppetd. This creates .dot files, which can then be interpreted by the

Is it possible to change a property for a collection. what i want is to be able to realize a subset of users with different properties. something like this: User <|group == dev|> { ensure => absent } trying to remove a set of users from a single node, but i don''t want to change the users virtual def. Ive done some searching on the wiki and i can''t tell if this

notice: /subject.sol1.net/virtual_mail_server/File[/etc/postfix]/checksum: checksum changed ''{time}Thu Jan 25 16:31:08 EST 2007'' to ''{time}Thu Jan 25 16:36:39 EST 2007'' I know there''s something weird in the directory modification detection that causes the next run after things actually change to suffer from this problem, but I''m getting it

Hi, I''m working on a method to manage packages which require a reboot after being installed. I''m curious how other people are handling this problem. Consider the resource: pkg_deploy { "MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.9Intel.dmg": alias => macosx1049 } I''d like to only install the package under if the following conditions are met: - No user is logged into the

Given the following: file { "/my/file": source => "puppet://server/path/to/some/file", ensure => absent } Puppet will copy /my/file to the host. What I was hoping was that ensure => absent would trump a source file. However, if we change the above slightly like this: file { "/my/file": source =>

I tried to install the ''mongrel'' gem tonight via puppet in an attempt to migrate from webrick to mongrel as described on the puppet site[1]. I added the following to my manifest: package { "rubygems": ensure => installed; "mongrel": ensure => installed, provider => gem, require => Package["rubygems"]; }

Hello everyone, A long time ago, I posted the Stanford Best Practices and I''ve gone through and updated it today. I''d like to have people go through it and see if we can strip out some Stanford specific stuff and tag this as an official best practice. I think an official best practice will be important as more and more people consider making shareable modules, etc (mostly

Just poking around on the Docs site and went to the facter recipe for VMware. (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/IsVmwareGuestRecipe) If you look at the bottom, the author states that they were unable to get case statements to match as a regex. case $macaddress { "00:0C:29:*":{ file{ "/etc/running_inside_vmware": ensure => present } } }

I just started messing with puppet, and i love it! I have used cfengine in the past, and were in process of planing to replace cfengine now. One thing thats stumped me this weekend and i know i read your working on virtal defines so i can''t do that, but how can i get arond this issue with the curretn setup. I think i am missing something fundamentally simple here. i have this

Is it possible to have a require line in a virtual resource when the required resource is itself a virtual resource? Specifically, it would be great if the following worked: @file { usr_local: path => "/usr/local", mode => 0755, owner => root, group => root, ensure => directory } @file { usr_local_bin: path =>

In the normal override method, you can change the value of a parameter, but can you unset a parameter? file { "/etc/somefile": mode => 644, owner => "dude" } File ["/etc/somefile"] { mode => unset } ??

Hello, I want a simple operation in a puppet node like restarting the ssh service if it was stopped. My site.pp is simple as this: import "services/*" node default { include ssh } The services directory as a ssh.pp : class ssh { service { ssh: ensure => running, subscribe => File["/etc/ssh/sshd_config"] } } I''ve stopped the ssh service in the

This was a fun one to track down... I was trying to use the append_if_no_such_line script from the wiki and it was working fine EXCEPT when I threw a notify at it. The notify appears to completely ignore both unless and onlyif within the exec for some reason. If I put the same test in the actual command line, it works fine. Example: unless => "/bin/grep -Fqe ''$line''

Hi all, I have a situation where I want to use the same template to create two different files in two different classes. I''ve tried to lookup some information on what is possible with templates, how advanced you can get, but haven''t found much. I guess it''s one of the areas where I should contribute to the docs - once I figured out what I can do, that is...

I''m seeing these in my logs on my puppetmaster: puppetmasterd[4111]: Could not store configs: SQLite3::SQLException: SQL logic error or missing database: DELETE FROM fact_values WHERE "id" = 8 currently this is 0.24.0 relect from some previously collected resource that wasn''t cleaned up? upgrade issue? nothing to worry about? that''s the only

I posted this earlier on IRC, but it didn''t seem anyone was active: <mozillaman>Hey all! <mozillaman>Quick question for you :) <mozillaman>I installed puppet according to the directions on the site and got this: sudo /usr/bin/puppetmasterd --nonodes undefined method `retrieve'' for nil:NilClass <mozillaman>Anyone have any ideas?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey, would it be very hard to improve file''s source parameter to support downloading a file from a http server? I got some quite huge files (~100MB) to distribute and update on each of the servers, so doing this with puppet:// is a mess (and mostly failes with the known buffer error).

Hi, I would find it very useful if puppet were able to replicate passwords for specified users from a master PC (the puppetmaster would do me fine, though I suspect this may not suit everyone). That would make changing passwords on my small Linux network a little easier. cheers John Dubery
