Hello, from the doc it seems that the User type has a provider of ''pw'' for FreeBSD. It seems the provider does not allow dupelicate, does not allow to manage the homedir and to manage password. in the code the duplicate uid is set so it seems the doc is out of date on this :) - manage home directory, i don''t really understand what is that parameter. The

I just upgraded to puppet 0.20.1 from 0.18.4 (both using the debian packages). After the upgrade, I''m getting the following error: err: Could not find type "remotefile" in file /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/kerberos.pp at line 47 Here''s the where the error is occuring: service { nfs-common: ensure => running, hasstatus => true, subscribe

Hi, I have a class to add users to all the host servers. We are in the process to have a coexisting user which belongs in NIS & as well as /etc/passwd. We have NIS clients (yp running) on all host servers. So when running puppet is fails to add or modify user, bcos the user already exists in NIS. Eg: A user pcruise is an existing NIS user. When using useradd or

Why doesn''t the yum provider support version, I tried added ensure -> ''ver'' and it barfs up (on clients) with: <snip> err: //stan.gbuild.org/any-host/java/Package[j2sdk]/ensure: change from 1.4.2_12-fcs to 1.4.2_13-fcs failed: Package provider yum does not support specifying versions at /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/ java.pp:13 </snip>

Hi, in an attempt to simplify my configuration, and from a suggestion on IRC, I was thinking of using multiple values for file { source => [] }. Was just currious if anyone had any comments on this. Basically, I setup my file-server to use: <snip> [private] path /var/lib/puppet/files/private/%H allow * [shared] path /var/lib/puppet/files/shared allow *

Hi, I just got my local yum repo setup so that I can use puppet to install packages... and it looks like something is not working. <snip> Tue Sep 19 02:13:05 PDT 2006 Puppet (notice): Starting configuration run Tue Sep 19 02:13:10 PDT 2006 //default/java/package=jdk/ensure (err): change from absent to latest failed: Could not update: Could not execute ''/usr/bin/yum -y install

Hi. I''ve defined a virtual user "kenneth", and depending on a variable in the node definiton I''d like to add the users to different groups. Consider this example: ###### Code start node "server.example.com" { $server_type = "typeA" realize User[kenneth] } @user {"kenneth": ensure => present, uid => 1000,

So, looks like the latest facter has fqdn... cool. but for some reason templates can''t access it. I was defining $fqdn in my site.pp, but had to remove it after the last yum update, which brought in a new facter package. But now my templates can use fqdn. Why would this happen? --jason

Currently, facter returns the kernel version as both the kernel and operatingsystemrelease facts. I would like to change that so that on Fedora, operatingsystemrelease is the release number (5,6,7 etc.) or ''Rawhide'' ... are there any objections to making that change ? David

I have a few different groupings of hosts, and I am wondering what is the best way to organize the node configuration for them. I have a few machines that are VMware hosts, a bunch of VMware guests, and the main admin server which runs a bunch of stuff like puppetmasterd. I''ve got a bunch of classes/*.pp which define configuration for sudo, yum, java, etc. Right now I just have

Hello Im just been working with puppet, the first usecase i have is to set up a system to create users and then push ssh keys on this machines in the create users .ssh files.

Hi all I''m working on my modular recursive Makefile & svn-backed home for my Puppet manifests, custom functions, types, etc. So I''m trying to put together individual modules, test targets and so on. I have noticed that the $libdir (and probably the other configuration options too) sources from puppet.conf are not overridden by specifying --libdir=blah on the commmand line

Hi, I''ve recently started seeing a bunch of err messages when running puppet about "Could not find a default provider" for user/group. Not sure what is going on, these are all FC5 hosts, with /usr/sbin/ useradd Any idea why puppet isn''t detecting this and setting it as the default provider? Using puppet 0.22.1 (from FC5 rpms)... which BTW still have lockdir in

Ok, given the statement on the web page about unlesssystemuser under Resources ( http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/documentation/typedocs.html#resources), I assume that users can be purged. However, when I attempt to do this with resources { user: purge => true, noop => true } and what I get is: err: Found a bug: private method ''split'' called for nil:NilClass.

Hi there, If I create a user, there seems to be no way to restrict it from being able to log in. Is there a simple way in which I can extend it to do that, or will I have to build my own define? It would also be useful to specify the user''s ssh keys and authorized keys, for example. I am also wondering how much effort it would be to add another provider for user (such as

Hi All, I asked on IRC but didn''t have everything organized and most people seemed busy. Hoping someone can see what I''m missing here. I''m trying to create a network module, used similar to the ''users'' configuration described in the Best Practices document. I have a users module which has that and it works with similar syntax to below. If I
