I have installed red hat 7.3 as a server, apache is running, samba is running, I have an overlay called Webmin, I have shared a file on the red hat machine, set permissions 777, I can see the samba server on my windows 2000 server and my xp pro workstation. When I click on the listed samba server in my network neighborhood, a logon screen is returned, I have tried every userid and pw

Hi all, I just wanted to follow up on Digant''s job posting. We''re still a pretty small community, and one of the big things that defines us as a community is that we''re all pretty consistently committed to this idea of using tools to make our lives easier. I think it makes a lot of sense to attempt to look for both jobs and employees within the community, as

Hi all, Turns out there''s a small backward compatibility problem in 0.22.2. If you''ve got clients in older versions sending reports to a daemon running the newer version, you''ll run into a problem because I renamed the Puppet::Metric class to Puppet::Util::Metric. I''ve committed a fix to svn, but it''s not a big enough problem to require a new

Hello folks, I''ve finally figured out how to get the Wiki to notify of changes. Luke is going to work on getting a proper link in the header but for now, make sure you are logged in and then if the page you want to watch is at: <http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/GlossaryOfTerms> then in your browser URL, substitute "notification" for "wiki":

Hi all, Now that (I hope) I''ve fixed the problems in 0.22.2 with 0.22.3, I''m prioritizing on documentation, since that''s the biggest complaint from people right now, from what I can tell. I''m starting with the introduction, since, of course, that''s where everyone else starts, and it has not kept pace with how I talk about Puppet in

Hi all, I''m considering moving --parseonly to just puppet, rather than it and puppetmasterd. Considering that it''s really only useful for parsing a specific file, puppet has the benefit of requiring that you specify that file directly. Since Puppet now supports multiple environments, --parseonly becomes both more difficult and more ambiguous when used with

I have been trying to get the Personal Information Manager Sidekick to run on Wine and Crossover. Our company is trying to move over to ubuntu(still fairly new) and after two weeks of searching i have yet to find a contact manager with the functionality and flexibility of sidekick so we are trying to get it working in Ubuntu. The program runs fine but then instantly crashes when i attempt to

Hello >From my understanding, modules are not autosearched. So, if I have: include ssh ... then puppet will look for a module names ssh and class named ssh defined in /modules/ssh/init.pp Moreover, if I have: include ssh::global ... then Puppet will for class global defined in /modules/ssh/init.pp or /modules/ssh/global.ss. Is that correct? Or am I leaving out some imports

For anyone that has experienced the odd End of file or Cannot describe errors, we''ve found that switching to Mongrel has fixed this problem for us. We''re currently running 5 instance of puppetmaster under mongrel (with the apache proxy in front) and things are going great. For more information on setting up Mongrel, visit:

I''ve published the tarballs and whatever bad packages my publishing system knows how to create; look for more official debs, sun packages, and rpms in the near future, hopefully. Note that this is mostly a bug-fix release, and I expect it to be a pretty painless upgrade for most everyeone (but please, test before upgrading). Here''s the changelog: Compile times now

Hello community, We are running puppetmaster 0.22.3 with 45 servers attached and we are seeing a lot of messages that say: (err): Could not describe /ssh/sshd_config.RedHat: End of file reached: We were seeing a lot of this with 0.22.1 as well. Interestingly, during the stretch where we were running 0.22.2 (most of April until 2 days ago) we didn''t see this error at all or very

Hi, Here is an update on JAX India 2009, an International Conference on Java Technologies to be held in Bangalore between April 06 and 10. 1) Liferay, SAP, Signsoft, isc2 and many other companies have stepped in as sponsors to support the popular event. 2) Some of the renowned speakers, who have confirmed their participation, are: · Axel Angeli, Logosworld, SOA Evangelist · Neal Ford,

Hi all, I''ve just noticed that two wiki users edited the wiki reference documents. One of these edits (to the function reference) was a good edit but would have been overwritten if I did not find it. The other edit (s/darwinports/macports/g) made the documentation incorrect, since the provider actually is called darwinports (even if that itself is a bug). I haven''t

Hello everyone, I''ve been working on an internal best practices document that also tackled giving proper terms to things that were at the time uncoined. But looks like we have a bit of a merge problem as other terms have been floating around that seem to conflict with some terms we''ve been using internally at my organization. I''m hoping we can discuss and

What is everyone''s experience with Puppet on Ubuntu? Does it work as expected? Any caveats or oddities? -- DK -- Digant C Kasundra <digant@stanford.edu> Technical Lead, ITS Unix Systems and Applications, Stanford University

Hi all, I''m very happy to see how quickly the Puppet community is growing and how pleasant and helpful everyone is. It seems like people are starting to handle a lot of the questions on the email lists and IRC, which is great because it means I can focus more on development and planning. There are a few areas that don''t seem to be meeting the community needs, though,

There was an old email thread from the end of January 2006 discussing regular expressions for matching URLs. I took some of the sample expressions and tweaked them a bit to the point where I think they are pretty useful. They pass all of my tests anyway. :-) For a reminder, here''s a sample message from that thread. My code is below it. On Jan 26, 2006, at 5:28 AM, Nathaniel S.

I think some conventions are in order to help with the documentation work. (1) As suggested by someone else earlier, I think we need a clear way to mark areas needing fixes with FIXMEs. (2) Topics under discussion or drafting should indicate such, perhaps at the top of the document, with a reference to the thread. On page comments should have a clearly designated area at the bottom of the

What happened with the Mongrel effort? -- Digant C Kasundra <digant@stanford.edu> Technical Lead, ITS Unix Systems and Applications, Stanford University

I just discovered something interesting: node server.example.org { class A { ... } } The above doesn''t do anything. node server.example.org { include A class A { ... } } The above works. I was under the impression that classes defined within a node were assumed to be part of that node. I learned something new today. -- Digant C Kasundra
