I have this config: # BL00070 - Disable NFS service {["nfs","nfslock","netfs","portmap"]: ensure => stopped, enable => false, } user {"rpc": ensure => absent, provider => "useradd" } user {"rpcuser": ensure => absent, provider => "useradd" } file

Folks, I''ve been looking at creating a set of man pages for puppet and I''m trying to come up with a reasonable hierarchy. I''d appreciate any suggestions. So far, here''s what I''ve come up with: - puppet(1) - puppetca(1) - puppetdoc(1) - puppetrun(1) - puppetca.conf(5) - puppetd.conf(5) - puppetmasterd.conf(5) - puppetd(8) -

I forgot to mention this in my announcement yesterday. Puppet facts are no longer downcased in the language, and string comparisons now default to being case-insensitive. Where your operating system might previously have been ''solaris'' or ''debian'', it is now ''Solaris'' or ''Debian''. However, you can still do comparisons

Hi all, Jennifer Davis from BayLISA has done us the service of already posting the presentation from this past Wednesday night: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8202036065161263530&hl=en http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7740462681265962824&hl=en It''s about 2 hours total, and I can''t promise it''s any kind of amazing presentation, but I do a

i got a little idea there, should not puppet use environement LANG=C when managing facts or packages etc... ? i have LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 and puppet choke on quite a few facts (erors messages with uname for exemple: Pour en savoir davantage, faites: « uname --help ». ) and also with packages updates : /usr/bin/apt-cache policy mysql-client-4.1 => err:

Hi, i wanted to know how you handle case when classes or define need to communicate between them. For exemple i got an ftpd define and a apachevhost define. Both need to know the path where the vhost is set and this path is defined by the ftpuser home''s directory. How can i ask information from other define or other classes ? we allready seen that tag are not reliable as they

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

Is there a list somewhere? How do I know what $operatingsystem, for example, is going to be set to? Using ''solaris'' seems to work, but I haven''t tested ''ubuntu'' and ''redhat'' yet (haven''t gotten that far). It''d be nice to have a list of available vars, along with "how they are set." -Charlie

hello, i wondered if it would not be interesting to have some filters function in puppet like filter_integer(), filter_prelregex, filter_text, filter_email or such so we can validate and make our defines a little more foolproof :) i particulary see filter_regex as usefull in quite a lot of exec that manipulates text files. What do you think about this ? -- Cordialement, Ghislain

Hello everyone, A long time ago, I posted the Stanford Best Practices and I''ve gone through and updated it today. I''d like to have people go through it and see if we can strip out some Stanford specific stuff and tag this as an official best practice. I think an official best practice will be important as more and more people consider making shareable modules, etc (mostly

I just upgraded to puppet 0.20.1 from 0.18.4 (both using the debian packages). After the upgrade, I''m getting the following error: err: Could not find type "remotefile" in file /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/kerberos.pp at line 47 Here''s the where the error is occuring: service { nfs-common: ensure => running, hasstatus => true, subscribe

Hello, still upgrading to .20.1 and i have another issue that puppet does not regonize anymore my definitions, i use some ensure lines definition in a function.pp file and since then i am unable to make it work. puppetmasterd tells me this: Unknown function sudoensure_line in file /etc/puppet/manifests/./classes/backup.pp the import of the function is my 2 line of the site.pp and i

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

Hello, i wanted to know if we can use exported ressrouces to do things like this: - for all nodes tagged as xxx create on the node yyy a file which content is a template where we can have each hostname , or create one file per nodes matching exemple /etc/hosts.allow sshd: host1 sshd: host2 ... or /etc/backuppc/host1 /etc/backuppc/host2 ... from the docs it seems i can collect only ALL

I dont know if i am missleaded but it seems to me that the cron type does not accept names with a ''.'' in it ? I tried to add a cron with a name cron1-$domainename and it does not accept it. If i remove the ''.'' in the domain it work. I am using .22.3 anyone seeing the same behavior ? If yes i will fill it as a bug. -- Cordialement, Ghislain ADNET. AQUEOS.

sorry to come with such a silly request but i have a code: shorewall-zone { "$name": SHTYPE => ''ipv4'', PARENT => "$PARENT" } and it bring a syntax error : debug: importing

For those of you out there using export/collect (which we really need to come up with a better name for...), can you test the current SVN code? I''m mostly wondering if the performance is any better. To use it, you''ll have to remove your current database, since the database schema is significantly changed. I''m getting what looks like an additional 25% reduction

Hi, What is the best way for you to simulate a provider behavior in modules ? For exemple if you have an webserver module and want to have a apache2, lighthttpd prividers. How would you do so the call to the modules functions stay like: webserver::addvhost { ... } and not webserver::apache2::addvhost Any best practices you can share ? I know that conditional include would not work

Hello, The more complicated my puppet scripts gets, the more ordering issue i meet. Here is a simple thing: I use a default backup policy for the nodes in my backup classe and then, in the node i try to override the defined default but even if they are done one after the other i got an error to say that the override is triggered before the default: include backup
