I am still in the familiarisation and testing phase of my puppet implementation, and have a question for the enlightened: Is there an upper limit to the numeric user ID that puppet recognises? Here is what I have so far: System is RHEL4, puppet 0.23.1 All users are defined in LDAP rather than in /etc/password, and their numeric user IDs are sourced from LDAP as well. These numeric IDs

I''m using the external_nodes functionality to read in a flat file of a node''s configuration. Currently said file is a straight yaml file (just to keep things simple). The place I''m currently stuck is in doing some more advance node configurations and placing that data in the yaml file. For example: node ''foo'' { $var1 =

Hi, I have several Debian servers with puppet 0.23.2. Part of my manifest looks like this: class virt_all_users { @group { "andy": ensure => "present", gid => "1000" } @user { "andy": ensure => "present", uid => "1000",

I have the following in my site.pp node "pclient.example.com" inherits default {} When I try to start puppetmaster it gives me the following error Starting puppetmaster: Syntax error at ''pclient.example.com'' at /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp:24 When I change the node declaration to this node ''pclient.example.com'' inherits default {} puppetmaster

Hi All, We are wanting to having a Puppet Meetup in NYC on February 3th, 2009, 6:30 PM. Place to be determined. Baring that my wife doesn''t give birth by then (which would prevent me from making it) how does this sound to everyone else? Brian G., Can you rally up the troops and also invite people from other groups? Also let''s have some specific topics to discuss.

Hi all, I''m a new puppet user and I''m running into some weirdness around creating users on solaris. (puppet version 0.23.2) The virt_all_users way of managing users seems pretty reasonable, but I don''t see how to deal with user specific groups with that. I have: class virt_all_users { @user { "seph": ensure => "present",

I know people must be doing something to manage iptables, but I haven''t been able to find anything yet. ( My google-fu must be weak today. ) What are you using to manage your iptables? -- -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers--

Hi, I''m not a total newbie with puppet, but I only use it for a few things and I''m not even using modules yet, mostly because I only deploy configuration files for now. I have a configuration for NTP that looks like this: class ntpd { package { "ntp": ensure => installed, } file { "/etc/ntp.conf": owner => root,

Hi There I started using Rails recently, and I see it''s very easy for URLs that have up to 3 levels: /:controller/:action/:id But what do you do when you need more than 3? For example, my current project should have an "admin" interface. Admin has several sub-interfaces, for example a "users" interface. And the admin/users interface has several actions, e.g.

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:

Hello, I am rather new to Puppet and am starting to test it out for use on a client''s servers. I am running into difficulty with node behavior. I want to specify a different firewall for every server. The default "basenode" works (applies the various files/functions/etc to all the servers just fine). However, when I specify the following (see nodes.pp, specifically),

Hello everyone, First of all, sorry for my poor english. I''ve been working with this for a few weeks and I''m getting sick... I''m trying to control the bandwith in my network using the following script. The machine where the script is running makes NAT, eth0 is connected to the router and eth1 is connected to the Lan. When I run the script it doesn''t appear any

Hi, Sorry, It comes by fetching ENVELOPE, not BODYSTRUCTURE. For example: A01 UID FETCH 24 (ENVELOPE) * 4 FETCH (UID 24 ENVELOPE ("Fri, 08 Dec 2017 09:44:35 +0900" "test2" ((NIL NIL "service" "paypal.com")) (("dev1" NIL "dev1-bounces" "example.com")) ((NIL NIL "service" "paypal.com")) (("user1"

I''m streaming audio over a WAN that is 1.5Mbit/s. The audio has to go both ways and can be over tcp or udp. The manufacturers recommend udp as it has less overhead but has a higher chance of dropping out. The audio requires 130-200kbit/s in each direction for a combined 260-400kbit/s. I have two transparent bridges on either side of the WAN to do traffic control. I split it so

Hi there, I was looking through examples of puppet recipes and came across: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ClamAV I notice the exhaustive listing of each files properties and settings and wonder if there is a way to have a file inherit settings from other files? Ie instead of: file { "main_cvd": path => "/var/lib/clamav/main.cvd",

Hello Everyone, My name is Thomas and I have been using R for one week. I recently found your site and have been able to search the archives of posts. This has given me some great information that has allowed me to craft an initial design to an inquiry I would like to make into the breakdown of McNemar's test. I have read an intro to R manual and the posting guides and hope I am not violating

Hi, one quick&dirty way of backing up a pool that is a mirror of two devices is to zpool attach a third one, wait for the resilvering to finish, then zpool detach it again. The third device then can be used as a poor man''s simple backup. Has anybody tried it yet with a striped mirror? What if the pool is composed out of two mirrors? Can I attach devices to both mirrors, let them

Hi, I''ve added in some initial user management to my growing puppet configs, and I''m seeing an odd behavior in that it is trying to set the groups for the users each time, despite them already being set. The list of groups it is setting for the user contains each group twice, in what seems to be a random order, like this: notice:
