One particular use of Puppet would be to serve as a machine fact/configuration retrieval tool. So in order to produce a list of packages with version-release info installed on each machine something along the lines of the following code could be run: require ''puppet'' Puppet::Type.type(:package).defaultprovider.list.each do |package| puts

Hello samba team ! I have some NFS4 exports managed by a Samba's Kerberos realm. All the standard user accesses work fine. I try now to setup an NFS4 root access to administer the share from another server (the two host are DC, one PDC and one SDC). But I have trouble understanding the kerberos/principals layer. ------------ Actually I do ------------- -> on the server I create an nfs

Hai Baptiste, I re-checked my setup and your totaly correct. I can not enter the nfsV4 mounted directory as root. What i've added in idmap.conf Is this : Domain = your_DNS_domain.tld [Translation] Method = nsswitch And i found this link. http://serverfault.com/questions/526762/root-access-to-kerberized-nfsv4-host-on-ubuntu im testing this now.

We don''t have nearly as many and yet, we see occasional errors ("End of file reached") which seems to indicate the network cutting out. I can''t imagine what would

Hai Batiste, Ok, thanks for these, i'll test that also. And the "why" is a bit more explained here. http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/crossrealm/libnfsidmap_config.html and per example, http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/crossrealm/ldap_server_setup.html First my work here, but this is a good one which i also need to adjust in my scripts, so thank you for asking

Thanks you very much Louis ! I have tried your setup and I can't mount the share neither from the server itself or the client. On /var/log/syslog I have : rpc.gssd : ERROR : no credentials found for connecting to server myserver This is because the machine principal is not present in the keytab : $ klist -k 1 nfs/myclient.samdom.com at SAMDOM.COM 1 nfs/myclient.samdom.com at SAMDOM.COM 1

Hi, I finally found why ralsh was failing on my systems; Puppet was installed as a gem and ralsh couldn''t find it. I added the preamble from puppetd and it seems to work fine now: ---8<--- snip ---8<--- 65c65,75 < require ''puppet'' --- > > require ''rubygems'' > version = "> 0" > if ARGV.size > 0 &&

SLES 10 clients keeps removing and re-adding accounts to groups. Can''t use this product in production as a result, I''d like to use it though.

How about adding a --no-detach option (to be used in combination with --daemon) to rsync so it can be run under Dan Bernstein's daemontools' supervise? If there's interest I'll provide a patch. -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ Santa Clara, CA _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/

Hi, I was wondering if there is any of getting the gem package provider to run non-interactively? When upgrading mongrel it fails because it gets prompted for which version to install: Attempting remote update of mongrel Select which gem to install for your platform (x86_64-linux) 1. mongrel 1.1.1 (ruby) 2. mongrel 1.1.1 (jruby) 3. mongrel 1.1.1 (mswin32) 4. mongrel 1.1 (mswin32) 5.

Is there a way to specify on a per-object basis that Puppet should merely report that an object needs to be updated without actually performing the update? This would make it possible to detect changes to critical objects (e.g. config files) that Puppet shouldn''t try to fix automaticaly. -- Jos Backus jos at catnook.com

Hi all; I am sure this question has been brought up before, but I could not find any information in the FAQ or docs etc. Quick question; Is there a way of syncing multiple servers simultaneously from 1 source server? Thanks, -- Vaibhav Goel extension 6347

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:

[My apologies if this question is deemed inappropriate for this list.] Using OpenSSH, is it possible for a program/script to copy files with known filenames from a remote server (running sshd), without allowing (interactive) ssh access to that server? I.e. ``ssh server ls'' or ``ssh server'' should not be possible (for security reasons), but ``scp server:file .'' should.

I am having SSL difficulties setting up a new puppet client: Client: fedora (rawhide) using 0.23.2 Server: centos 4.4 using 0.22.3 After initiating contact with puppetd --test --server=puppet.myclient.com, I see the CSR on the server.
