I''m in the process of creating Puppet classes to install Munin via Yum on my RHEL4 hosts. Before Yum can be used as a provider, it obviously needs to be installed. I''ve tried requring the Yum package in the Munin classes but I still get an error about "Provider ''yum'' is not functional on this platform". Is there an easy way to require the yum class

I''m trying to use a "case defined" statement to configure Munin to automatically create plugin links for packages that are defined by Puppet but the behaviour seems to be unpredictable. I have a similar setup for Samba which works, but the Postfix one doesn''t and I can''t see any difference between them. Can some explain to me how "case

I am trying to build a firewall and from my reading of the list archives and other places, I''m worried about unintended interactions between iptables and iproute2. Here is my situation I have an internal network on eth0 and two separate dmzs on eth1 and eth2 respectively (a wireless network and a kiosk). On the outbound side, I have a cablemodem provider and a dsl provider. What I

I''m being cast headlong into unfamiliar waters here, and being desperate for some air, thought I''d come here for some help. :) Anyway, my employer is going through some whiplash-inducing growth spurts, and as a result, the simple "Internet T-1 -> Linux Firewall/NAT -> LAN" setup just isn''t going to cut it anymore. First, we''re bringing in 2

Hi, is there a way to make sure a file is installed only if a certain package is installed on the client? e.g. I want to distribute the client key for NX via puppet. However I only want to install these files if package ''freenx'' is installed on the client. I tried adding ''require => package["freenx"]'' but then puppetd complains it

Is there a recommended way to set $FACTERLIB so that Puppet will be able to access custom facts when running as a Red Hat service? If I export $FACTERLIB=/var/puppet/facts and then run Puppet manually I have no problems, but I''m not sure how I should be setting $FACTERLIB when Puppet is running automatically. Cheers, James

Hi all, While I can understand the desire to customise the default Trac site, the new website design appears to me to be a step back in terms of usability in two areas. Firstly, the top fixed navigation banner and bottom Trac banner take up valuable screen space no matter when you have scrolled to in the page. I also find them quite distracting from the content that I''m trying to read.

I''ve checked out the page on adding custom facts for Facter and I see that there are a number of ways to do this. Is there a preferred method of setting system-wide facts? In this case, I''d like to set a "Location" fact which represents the data centre a server is in. Cheers, James *********************************************************************************

I''m receiving a "warning: Could not get config; using cached copy" when running "puppetd --test" with the latest puppet and puppet-server RPMs from dlutter''s site. Has anyone else seen this problem or can give me an idea of where to start looking for the problem? James *********************************************************************************

Just wondering if anyone is using a backend database other than sqlite, and if so, how easy/hard it was to configure. I''m constantly receiving "SQLite3::BusyException: database is locked..." which I presume is due to sqlite''s relatively coarse locking method.

I''ve just noticed that Puppet is failing to automatically apply changes when running as a Red Hat service. Changes get applied with no problems or errors when I run Puppet manually with "puppetd --test" but fail with a "Could not apply complete configuration: Parsed Providers must define a default target" error in /var/log/messages when the service runs automatically

Before I start working on it, I''d like to check if anyone is already using Puppet to manage their servers'' RHN subscriptions. We run a local RHN Proxy server and at the moment, I''m using Kickstart to: - Install Facter and Puppet - Install our organisations trusted RHN SSL certificate - Download and install our RHN configuration file - Import GPG keys - Run rhnreg_ks to

I just started digging into puppet and it looks like puppet is using a pull model. You have a master server and clients talk to it to get config info. Is anyone out there using a push model? If not, why not? Are there security reasons you would use one over the other? It seems that cfengine also uses a push model, so I wondered if this is a "standard" or if there are specific
