Shorewall (IP Tables frontend - www.shorewall.net) has been kind of a headache in trying to move forward with puppet - we just haven''t found a clean way to manage the "rules" file. With that in mind - would it be possible to create a "shorewall_rule" type? The rules file is a simple file with space/tab delimited fields: (I can provide a detailed explanation of each

Greetings - Does anyone have plans for a Puppet BOF at LISA this year? I''ve seen some talk on the LOPSA configmgmt list about Config Mangement BOF''s, but nothing focused on Puppet.

I was finally able to get ldapnodes [1] working on our puppetmaster so i''m able to start working on the fun stuff. In the last few days it has become critical that we come up with a better way to manage the configuration of our Solaris zones. I am planning to write a recipe that provisions the zone [using the zone resource type], but would like to avoid having to keep a stockpile

Hi there, I''m running puppetmasterd manually while testing, and I was trying to split my manifest in several parts using import. If I do so whenever I run the puppetmasterd the manifest gets loaded and served correctly: cognos ~ # puppetmasterd -v info: Starting server for Puppet version 0.20.0 info: Parsed manifest in 0.02 seconds info: /var/lib/puppet/files: allowing *.example.org

I restarted puppetmasterd and it announced that the Cert does not match existing key !

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.

Hi all, This has theoretically been a high priority for a long time, and I''m finally going to get it done, I think. Here''s my plan, and I''d appreciate any comments you might have on it. Currently, sections only have meaning internally, in that one can call ''config.use(section)'' to create any directories needed for that section. Additionally,

Hi, I''ve installed puppet gem on freebsd 6.1 and wrote a simple startup script for puppetmasterd. It starts fine, but doesn''t create the pidfile, so I can''t stop it. Here is my script: #!/bin/sh utility_enable=${utility_enable-"NO"} utility_flags=${utility_flags-""} utility_pidfile=${utility_pidfile-"/var/run/puppetmasterd.pid"} .

Hi Puppet-Team, first thanks for this great configuration management tool ! My name is Matt and i am on creating a puppet plugin for openQRM. The basic framework is already existing and working well so far. Now, after having it working ok once i now ran into a problem that my puppet-clients do not get their configuration any more from the puppetmasterd. What i saw on the puppetmasterd logs is :

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 Folks, Just wondering what the above error means.

After reading the rc.subr(8) man page and Newburns''s article on the rc.d subsystem[1], It''s clear that a rc.conf.d per service file structure is already natively supported on FreeBSD.

The major changes in this version relate to Rails (and thus resource collect/export) and transaction internals. If you are currently using Puppet''s rails support, you''re going to have to migrate manually, unfortunately (or just

I''m trying to get puppetrun to work, without luck so far. I have my puppetmaster and clients working fine with the clients polling the master. Now I want to be able to force an update. Using version 0.23.2 On the client I set listen=true and created the namespaceauth.conf file. Restarted puppetd and it appears fine. On the master I run puppetrun as root and get root@plane:/etc/puppet#
