Hi, Just a quick query about some things that crop up when I run ''puppetd --test''. Every time I run this command I always see the following output, which I think is strange as the ''man'' package has been installed previously and the firewall service is definitely running. Has anybody got any suggestions as to why puppet thinks it needs to install the man

Hi, I''m running Puppet 0.23.0 on my servers, and i got something like this: In a classa.pp file (included in site.pp): class A { file { "test1": ... } } In a classb.pp file (included in site.pp): class B { file { "test2": ... } if defined(File["test1"]) { ... do things ... } if

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi *! I''m currently working on integrating VServer support into puppet. I have uploaded a prototype for managing interface configuration to the Cookbook at http://reductivelabs.com/cookbook/VServerRecipes and would very much appreciate feedback about style and functionality.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi *! Has anybody a fix/workaround for this beahaviour? My Service[munin-node] is subscribed to the timestamp of a directory containing config-snippets like this: {{{ file{"/etc/munin/plugins": checksum => mtime, } service{munin-node: subscribe => File["/etc/munin/plugins"], # ... }}} When adding new snippets to the

Hello, I am attempting to reload both nfs and nfslock when changing my exports configuration file. Unfortunately, I am unable to discern the correct syntax for making a single object subscribe to multiple objects. I have tried: => [nfs nfslock] => [nfs, nfslock] => [[nfs],[nfslock]] => [[nfs] [nfslock]] and none of them seem to work. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank

Hi there, I have a strange problem with the exported ressources in the munin module I wrote. See: http://mail.madstop.com/pipermail/puppet-users/2007-June/003179.html For some reason it stopped working. On the munin::host I get the error that: err: Could not retrieve configuration: Exported resource File[munin_def_XY_4949] cannot override local resource The munin::host is also a

Hello all, How are you using the sshkey type? Are you using it to list hosts and keys in a class that nodes include in order to manage /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts or something else? How does any of this relate to the sshrsakey and sshdsakey facts on the host? I read some stuff about this on the Virtual Resources page but it''s too vague for my simple mind and I''d be reluctant to use

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

Hi, I''ve just installed 0.22.2 and believe I''ve discovered a bug (or oversight). I have an exec like this: exec { "change-to-local-mirror": command => "sed -i ''s#\(KERNEL_REPO.*=\).*#\1 $mirror#'' ${rulefile}", path => "/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin",

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear list! In an effort to get feedback and spread the word, here follows the second article about possibilities to structure manifests. These Design Patterns are more general than the typical Puppet Recipie and will receive a own page on the wiki when I collect enough[1] material. To the meat: humane class names with namespaces Class names

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Tim, *! Thank you for posting your nice apache2 recipe to the wiki! It''s really good to see how others make things happen and a good example for others. One little thing though caught my notice because I''m currently making the same naughty thing on Simple Text Recipes. There is no ensure attribute. Since you already have done

I''m not sure if this has been posted previously, but I couldn''t find any information on it. I added a cron job via the cron type and it installed properly. Next, I removed the cron type from the manifest. The result was that, while the entry was no longer in the yaml file, the cron entry was not removed! Is this a bug, or the way that it is supposed to function? Thank you,

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''

I''ve been thinking about how to make Puppet a killer app, and I think there is one specific thing that could be done to help make that happen: People using Puppet now to consistently state what they *really* wish Puppet could do for them -- the recent thread around Puppet on Windows is in that vein, but it''s not specific enough. For example, I''d like to know what

hello list, what i want to archive is something like this: include mailman manage_mailing_list {"chatml": password => "asdfasdfasdf", subscribers => ["darks@fet.org", "hand@dampf.de", "i.am.cool@yoo.org" ] } which should create the

This is in reference to David Schmitt''s writeup [1] I like that writeup a lot; I just had a few comments/clarifications: * Namespaces: For now, we just use a flat namespace for modules, i.e. you can''t have modules within modules, and you always know that in a fully qualified name ''foo::bar::baz'' that ''foo'' is the module name and

I thought this made sense, but apparently I am mistaken: define copyfile($owner = root, $group = root, $repo = "config", $mode, $source = $name, $purge = false, $backup = false, $recurse = false, $server = $servername) { file { $name: mode => $mode, owner => $owner, group => $group, backup => $backup,

Hello folks, I''ve blended/updated the Glossary of Terms (<http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/GlossaryOfTerms>). It seems the definition of "manifests" is a bit different amongst members. Some people consider a "manifest" to be a configuration file written in puppet, e.g. any .pp file. But at my organization, we''ve considered the totality

im a new puppet user. i need to handle a couple of scenarios in our deployment 1. i should be able to do incremental changes to certain class of nodes in my infrastructure. is it possible with puppet. i see in the puppet documentation that the entire config is downloaded to the client and then made sure that its in sync with that config. i would like to have a base config and then apply

I''ve been seeing this for a long time now... Got a class like: <snip> class iptables { package { iptables: ensure => latest } service { iptables: enable => true, ensure => running } remotefile { "/etc/sysconfig/iptables": mode => 400, source
