similar to: facter output from puppet

fact loads: I use facter to search the rsync path and then i write this sudoers line: Cmnd_Alias BACKUPCOMMANDS = /usr/bin/rsync I call puppet like this: puppetd --factsync --server=xxx.yyy.61.131 --waitforcert 60 --test the recipe is: sudoensure_line { sudobackupcommands: ligne => "Cmnd_Alias BACKUPCOMMANDS = $rsyncpath",

I have some facter file to distribute before running puppet on the platform. The problem is : how can i send the facter local.rb file so the rest of the .pp file take into account the new facts created ? ex: i have sudopath as a facter fact and one sudoers class that need that sudopath to work. How do you model that ? it seems puppet would have to rerun after the new local.rb is downloaded

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:

Is there someplace this is documented?

Hello there, i cannot find the links to Facter on the site. I saw code with things like :confined and such.

Hello puppet users, I know this is not really a puppet thing but i wanted to know what tools do you use for server provisionning ? I have to build quite a lot of servers for a prject and i need to instal them. Of course puppet take care of the configuration but i wondered if some of you use things like FAI . It seems that i could use puppet to script FAI to install machines. What do you

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, 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 was wondering how to trigger a configration run remotely. Is this possible? Looking through the docs, I see mention that puppet can listen on port 8139, but I don''t see that this is the case on my servers. Can someone please enlighten me as to the proper method of doing this, if it can indeed be done? Thanks!

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

Hello, I have a strange problem this nigth that i cannot solve, perhaps you can help me understand what is wrong. I have a file type that upload a directory into my servers. Inside this uploaded directory i create subdirectory and files on my own (directly on the target host). The problem is that when puppet comes back to the directory it spills out this error: err:
