How do I manage manifests most efficiently...?
Hi
As I''m more familiar with cfengine and it''s way to split updates (in
update.conf) from the actual grunt work (in cfagent.conf), I''m
wondering how to best manage puppet and my manifests with puppet...?
Should I define a puppet class that copy the puppet package (in .tgz
format) and all the manifests to the client, and then have all my
other classes depend on

Filenames with dots in the name
Hi,
When I try to specify a file I want copied in place, like:
configfile { "/etc/init.d/puppet":
source => "config/apps/puppet/puppet"
}
and has a require on that later on:
exec { "/usr/sbin/update-rc.d puppet defaults":
require => "/etc/init.d/puppet"
}
puppetd throws an error:

Resources...
Hi,
I''d like to be able to create certain admin users on certain
machines, and when I saw the new Resources feature, I thought I could
use that. But I can''t get it to work. This is what it looks like:

class admin {
define adminuser {
@user { $name:
ensure => present,
group => adm
}

Report usage...
Hi,
I''ve setup my systems to do reporting as explained in https://
reductivelabs.com/cgi-bin/puppet.cgi/wiki/ReportsAndReporting, with
tagmail defined as one of the report types - but I do not recieve any
mail at all.
I''ve configured a tagmail.conf file like this:

But the documentation mentions three options, namely sendmail,

Puppet tgz installs...
Hi
I''m anxious to get puppet into production, and although I''d prefer
installing puppet as a .deb package (as most of the servers in our
shop runs Debian), I think I''ll try to get some of my not-so-
important servers into my test setup by installing puppet with
the .tgz files.
Upon the first installation I realize that puppetd and puppetmasterd

Defaults for package type...
Hi
I''m wondering if it''s possible to define some defaults for the
package type. What I want is that package install/updates only
happens at certain times of the day. I could do:
class shorewall {
package { "shorewall":
ensure => latest,
schedule => maintenance
}
}
for every package I want to manage. But that means I have to type

facts about xen domU''s...
Hi,
I''ve just finished my first attempt at making anything in ruby. It
ended up beeing a module to facter, which collects facts about the
number of domU''s and the memory, id and vcpu facts on all of the domU''s.
It''s meant to be run on the dom0, and uses the xm utility to get the
information.
The only thing I haven''t figured out, is how to

Accessing definitions in a subclass...
Hi all
Shouldn''t it be possible to access definitions from a super class in

bla => "something",
}

Ordering problem...
Hi all,
I''d got the impression that puppet didn''t care about ordering - ie.
the ordering of imports and includes related to calling them in the
manifest.
Lately I''ve had big trouble getting puppet to accept that I require
some resource that I _have_ defined elsewhere in the manifest. To
explain it, here is a simplified example:
site.pp:

Setting a variable to true or false, if a certain file exists...
Hi,
I need to set a variable to true or false if a certain file exists. I
need to use it in a case statement like:
case $is_installed {
false: {
exec...
file...
service...
}
true: {
package...
}
}
Is it possible...? I searched for the syntax, but I can''t find an
appropriate example...

Debian packages...
Hi,
I just want to know what the state of the Debian packages is? I''ve
downloaded (and is currently testing with) the packages from http://
reductivelabs.com/downloads/packages/Debian/ They seem to miss some
important stuff such as init scripts and puppetrun, and they hasn''t
all the dependencies defined (eg. ruby). From the info part of the
packages I can''t see

Adding recipes...

Ok, maybe it''s just me, but - how on earth do I add recipes to the

Node variable names with dashes..
Hi all
I''ve stumbled upon something that I consider a bug: Node variables
can''t have dashes in them:
node blah {
$allow-from = "127.0.0.1"
}
err: Could not parse; using old configuration: Could not match ''-
from'' at /home/mercurial/repositories/manifests/nodes/nodes.pp:8
I''m using the variable to create a template-based config file.

Overriding variables...
Hi all
I''m fighting right now with the functionality of overriding
variables. I''ve made a base node with some variables:
node base {
$country = "dk"
$dv = "sarge"
}
And I''d like to override some of them in subnode definitions:
node server01 inherits base {
$dv = "etch"
}
Is this possible, or do I have to wrap the variables in a

Brainstorming - how to manage Shorewall rules
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:

How to require a defined type...
Hi all,
I''m struggling with the following:
I have a defined type wrapped in a class:
class myclass {

}
}
}
And I access the defined type in my other class by doing this:
class otherclass {
