similar to: Problem enforcing permissions on remote file copy

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

Hello, I have recently run across the following error: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml/rubytypes.rb:315: [BUG] Segmentation fault This has happened after adding a particularly large template file with ruby 1.8.1.

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,

Hi all, Peter Abrahamsen has duplicated all of the documentation and cookbook pages in Puppet''s Trac page: https://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/DocumentationStart Please let me or Peter know if there are any problems. -- A motion to adjourn is always in order. --Robert Heinlein --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke

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 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

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''

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 --

Mr. Kanies, If you would not mind filing the bug, it would be appreciated. Puppet Version: 0.22.0 Platform: Fedora Core 6 Thank you, -- Rob -- ----- Original Message ---- From: Luke Kanies <luke@madstop.com> To: Puppet User Discussion <puppet-users@madstop.com> Sent: Friday, February 2, 2007 1:34:13 PM Subject: Re: [Puppet-users] Subscribe to multiple files - Modification On Feb

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.

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

Would it be possible to... ( I suppose that this is an enhancement request )... automatically do the following on a client-side manifest failure: 1. Wipe localconfig.yaml and state.yaml and try again (seems to fix most things for me) 2. Revert to a last known good configuration if all else fails.

Hi all, I''m proud to announce that I seem to have pushed a new release of Puppet out in record time. This is a minor upgrade, mostly bugfixes and small features, but there are lots of each. See the changelog[1] for an idea of what this release provides, but keep in mind that this changelog is my first real attempt at keeping an up-to-date changelog. Enjoy! 1 -

Hello, I have been running multiple exec scripts that could run in parallel. Does puppet run as much as possible in parallel? If it does not, is there a way to specify that actions may be run in parallel? Also, is puppet a multiple or single thread application?

Hello, I am currently attempting to manage the /etc/fstab file using the Mount command but do not want the command to do anything to certain mounts that I specify. I have tried different ''ensure'' options, but puppet seems to always want to try an mount or unmount the devices. Basically, I would like to have certain options in the fstab on the cdrom and floppy devices but leave

Hello, I have recently attempted to automatically restart my network interfaces when I update my network configuration files. During this process it seems that one out of every three or so runs will cause the state.yaml file to become corrupt. The next run of puppet will respond with messages similar to "can''t find object :nil". Deleting the state.yaml file and running

Hello, Is it possible to utilize puppet in an offline mode? For example, if I use puppet to manage a connected laptop with remote file sources, can the files be cached locally in a protected location for system stability when not connected to the network?

Hello, I am attempting to extend the standard manifest generated by puppetd --genmanifest. Interestingly, it seems like my file configurations are not being honored in terms of permissions and ownership. Instead, the default permissions and owners are being set. Is there some way to override the defaults from within a manifest? Also, I attempted to use the special parameters in the
