Hi all, puppet --genmanifest : Should this not introspect all the packages on my system? I ran it just now on ubuntu intrepid, puppet 24.7, and it just gave me puppet related things...

Can I use puppet to ensure that a file includes certain text but not be required to maintain the entire file? For example, I would like /etc/modprobe.conf to contain the following lines but the file will also contain lines that are system dependent. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Disable IPV6 alias net-pf-10 off alias ipv6 off

Hello, I am attempting to extend the standard manifest generated by puppetd --genmanifest. Interestingly, it seems like my file configurations are not being honored in terms of permissions and ownership. Instead, the default permissions and owners are being set. Is there some way to override the defaults from within a manifest? Also, I attempted to use the special parameters in the

If I use the ''file'' type to sync a file where the parent directory doesn''t exist the sync fails. According to the puppet docs "Puppet will autorequire any parent directories that are being managed". Am i missing something?

Hi. Last night the /var/lib/puppet/clientbucktet directory on one of our production servers suddenly grew about 4 GB, filling up the entire /var partition. Around that time, I see that there was a problem with one of our CIFS mount points (i.e. our CIFS client had problems reaching our CIFS server). We''re using puppet to set up the CIFS mount point. Under the clientbucket folder, I

I install puppet as part of a Fedora and CentOS kickstart install and this use to provide a nicely configured client immediately after the first reboot from the kickstart completion. However with 0.22.3 i now see the following error on puppets 1st run, as a result the client is not configured. The problem is easily rectified by connecting to each client and restarting puppet. I have also

I have a closed-source 32bit database application running on a 64bit CentOS 5.2 system which is running very well however i am looking at developing some python applications that require access to the data and the vendor only provides a 32bit c library. So while attempting to utilize the library in python with ctypes it became obvious that the 64bit python cannot use the 32bit c library. So

It seems to me that when you setup an environement for a cron it just recreate the crontab at each run even if the cron has not changed. Seems it does not recognize actual environement settings.

Is there any "correct" way to get puppetmasterd to not spam syslog with (mount[blah]) File source foo does not exist messages when using file source selection lists? I use them quite extensively, so it''s getting quite out of hand. The last resort will be to comment out the offending print statement! -- Russell A.

Are exec resources triggered by notify events supposed to be run once for every event received or only run once per run irregardless of the number of resources that notified it? It seems to me that it gets run twice no matter how many resources triggered it. consider the following class: class dhcp { $prefix = "/usr/local/etc/dhcpd" $dhcpd_conf = "$prefix/dhcpd.conf"

Hello there, I wanted to know if there is a way to change the log verbosity for a node. I wanted to be able to shutdown logs for most host but be able to re-enable them when i meet problems on one server. It seems to me that the log verbosity can only be changed on each type. This would lead to a rather complex setting of loglevel in EACH type followed by a variable defined in the node. I

Hi, I''m using the ''backup'' parameter in file resources to backup to a central filebucket on the puppetmaster. How do I restore a backup?

I''m trying to use $servername in modules to copy files over a private network, but this is always set to the public hostname of the server. That route is blocked by a firewall. Is there a way to use the server variable in puppet.conf in manifests?
