Hello, I''ve recently begun looking at Puppet as an alternative to Cfengine and I have a couple of questions. 1) Besides the information posted on the Puppet website, are there any critical differences between Puppet and Cfengine? 2) Does Puppet allow for client-specific file text manipulation. For instance, in Cfengine I can add a line of text to a file if the line doesn''t

hi I''ve read about PuppetReporting at the Trac website. Apparently you are working on integrating the benchmark tests for every type in ruby. Do you have any idea when this will all get implemented? This is a crucial part (and actually a necessary feature) in the configuration management system we have set up using Puppet. grtz Koen Vereeken

Hi all, I''m looking at changing the operatingsystemrelease fact for Red Hat. Linux currently just uses the kernel release as the operating system release, but I''ve got a client who wants the release to have both the specific distro (e.g., AS or EL) and the release (e.g., 3 or 4). Will this particularly annoy anyone? Anyone want to help make the release string work on

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You folks were so helpful with my last problem I thought I''d try again. I''m attempting to use the services filetype to ensure that ntpd is running on all my hosts. Unfortunately this does not seem to be working on my Gentoo test system. I get the following output on the client log: puppetd[3436]: Starting configuration run

Hi there, I''m trying to document my puppet manifests, and I have created kind of a template for class documentation. After documenting a few I thought it would be great for complex manifests if we could have a tool that read some kind of standard documentation in puppet manifests and create HTML (or other format) documentation, as javadoc in Java or RDoc (?) in Ruby. So two questions:

Hi there, I''m facing a problem that I think it''s common enough to be solved directly by puppet or at least have a best practice recommended: building a config file from snippets. I''m thinking for example about a dns zone and hosts inside that zone, ldap server and ldap databases, samba server and samba shares, a firewall config and firewall rules,... The first part of

Hi there, After quite a long time out of puppet business I''m back, and the first thing I''m doing is rephrasing my puppet manifests using modules. I started with the NTP module (a classic, I guess). I have (more or less) the following: In modules/ntp/manifests/init.pp: $ntp_localtime = "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid" class ntp { ... some stuff using the

Hi all Guess it''s time for me to dig a bit deeper into the ruby language. Can you recommend some good starting books on ruby programming? Thanks. -- Med venlig hilsen Juri Rischel Jensen Fab:IT ApS Vesterbrogade 50 DK-1620 København Tlf: 70 202 407 / Fax: 33 313 640 www.fab-it.dk / juri@fab-it.dk

Hi there, Maybe another bug? I have the following in site.pp: $localtime = $domain ? { "example.org" => "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid", default => "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid" } If I take this away and put it in another file, and then import that file, I get the following error: err: Cannot reassign variable localtime in file

Hi there, I have a problem I don''t know how to solve. Let''s say you have two services, applications, whatever that communicate with each other, and they establish a shared password or key to authenticate to the other part. This happens with DHCP/DNS (I think is called dynamic zone update, the DHCP server updates the DNS zone with information from the dynamically configured

I''ve started working on a new tool that should help with modifying the configuration of a system under the control of puppet. The tool is called cft (pronounced ''sift'') and is inspired by Gnome''s Sabayon[1] in taht it watches how an admin changes a system and spits out a puppet manifest based on its observations. Cft''s website is

... or better, what is intended to be? I''ve seen references to PuppetShow in IRC, mailing lists and documentation, but still have no clear idea of what it is. Is it just a reporting tool? Will you be able to create manifests or configure nodes from it? Thanks, best regards Jose _______________________________________________ Puppet-users mailing list Puppet-users@madstop.com

Hi there, I find myself writing a lot of similar required/subscribe parameters, for example in service definitions: package { whatever : ensure => latest } service { whatever: ensure => running, require => Package[ whatever ], subscribe => Package[ whatever ] } Am I doing this correctly, or does subscribe imply require so the require parameter here is unnecessary? Thanks

Hi, I''m new to Puppet, but it looks very good, so far. We are going to use it for a multi-tier (DEV, QA, staging, production) environment which is consists of web, app, and database servers. I have a couple of suggestions for the Puppet documentation that may save others some time. First, it seems node names MUST be FQDNs (hostname and hostname. will not work). Since we are not using

Hola a todos: Alguién me podría explicar cuales son las diferencias entre las diferentes escalas de viridis en ggplot2, es decir en qué se diferencian scale-colour_viridis_d de scale_colour_viridis_c, scale_colour_viridis_b. Y cual es la diferencia entre scale-fiil-viridis_d de scale-fill_viridis_c y de scale_fill_viridis-b. He estado buscando la diferencia en internet y no he encontrado nada al

Hi there, I would like to use puppet to configure two networks and one of the first things I''ve tried to do is to describe ntp configuration. Each network has a ntp server that acts as a proxy for internal nodes, so those internal nodes share the same configuration except for the server they use to get the time. Attempting to describe this I''ve thought of several approaches,

Hola, Acabo de crear una nueva encuesta para conocer con algo más de detalle el campo en el que aplicamos R con mayor frecuencia. En la anterior encuesta Rubén Gómez hizo la sugerencia y me ha parecido interesante el pulsar la lista sobre esto. De las diversas preguntas que aparecen en la lista y de aquellos que comentan qué tipo de cosas están analizando he incluido una lista de 15 opciones de
