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... Is it not possible to configure a system using the packages I want, and then run puppet --genmanifest to retrieve the puppet code to reproduce it? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You

Hello, I am currently experiencing a bit of a quandry with how to specify default configuration applications to generic nodes. Here is an example setup: Classes: Class A Class B inherits Class A Class C inherits Class B Problem: I have unique hosts (nodes) X and Y and a bunch of other standard hosts. I would like X and Y to be able to override attributes in Class C (thus inherit class C) but

Is puppet --genmanifest something one should still be using? I''m having some problems running it on RHEL4 and I''m sure I have read something about puppet taking care of its own directories automatically. Here are a selection of problems This entry stops puppet from running, (reported by Ben Abnormaliti@clivepeeters.com.au) file {

Hello, I have been attempting to do the following: file { "/home/test/test.txt": owner => test, group => test, checksum => md5, source => "puppet://puppet/files/test.txt" } At first, this appeared to work, but now I realize that when the file is copied from the server, the permissions are not applied until the next puppet run. Does puppet not apply the

Hello, i used puppetd --genmanifest to create a site.pp and it created some weird entry: file { ''/var/puppet/log'': group => ''puppet'', loglevel => ''debug'', owner => ''puppet'', backup => ''false'', mode => ''488'', ensure =>

Hello, I apologize for the duplicate post, but I made a typo last time. I am trying to notify the service, not subscribe to it. Also, I found that notifying a service, in this case nfs, appears to cause the service to load even if the service is configured to be disabled. Is this supposed to happen, or should the ensure => stopped state be enforced even during a notify? Thank you, -- Rob

Is it possible to have two files that source the same puppet-hosted file in the same File description? Example: [ "/etc/issue", "/etc/issue.net" ]: owner => root, group => root, mode => 644, source => "puppet://puppet/files/issue" Should this work, or am I doing something wrong? Thank you, -- Rob --

I''m not sure if this has been posted previously, but I couldn''t find any information on it. I added a cron job via the cron type and it installed properly. Next, I removed the cron type from the manifest. The result was that, while the entry was no longer in the yaml file, the cron entry was not removed! Is this a bug, or the way that it is supposed to function? Thank you,

This was a fun one to track down... I was trying to use the append_if_no_such_line script from the wiki and it was working fine EXCEPT when I threw a notify at it. The notify appears to completely ignore both unless and onlyif within the exec for some reason. If I put the same test in the actual command line, it works fine. Example: unless => "/bin/grep -Fqe ''$line''

Hi, I''ve just started using puppet and I have a couple of questions about the SSL capabilities. 1) Can I use my own certs or do I have to use the ones provided by puppetmaster? 2) How can I set the "Not Before" time to be now instead of a few hours from now?

I believe this has already been discussed[1], but I''d like to add a bit more to that original discussion and see if anyone has any suggestions. Here''s what I''m trying to do: we have a set of very thorough "wipe" scripts that run every night on our workstations. I''d like to stash these into a class so that I can include them as a group: class wiped

Hello, I have been perusing the documentation looking for the default list of variables that puppet defines such as $operatingsystem. For instance, how is $host translated; <host>.<domain>, or just <host> and where can I find this information.

Hello, I am attempting to reload both nfs and nfslock when changing my exports configuration file. Unfortunately, I am unable to discern the correct syntax for making a single object subscribe to multiple objects. I have tried: => [nfs nfslock] => [nfs, nfslock] => [[nfs],[nfslock]] => [[nfs] [nfslock]] and none of them seem to work. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank

If I have an operation, such as an RPM install, and I have certain mounts that are read-only, how should I go about making sure that they are read write prior to an update? For example: 1. Re-mount file systems as read write. 2. Perform RPM updates 3. Re-re-mount file systems as read only. I got to thinking about this when I saw the post about automatic remounting after changing mount options.

Does any one know or whether have someone done custom reports in puppet. Which will show the status of the servers, disk, cpu, load, pkg list, configs/files edited via puppet, how often a config file is updated, etc.. -- Deepak _______________________________________________ Puppet-users mailing list Puppet-users@madstop.com https://mail.madstop.com/mailman/listinfo/puppet-users
