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

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''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:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I had a working 0.19.3 puppet install, but after an upgrade to 0.20 and then restarting puppetmasterd I get the following error: # /etc/init.d/puppetmaster start All resource specifications require names in file /etc/puppet/manifests/modules/ssh_keys.pp at line 24 * Failed to start puppetmaster So, looking at the file in question shows the

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 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

Hi there, I want to manage some files with puppet that control the installation of packages in Gentoo (/etc/make.conf, /etc/portage/*). These files must be downloaded to the client before any package resource is processed, so they are installed correctly. Is there any way to do this? Possible solutions: 1. Include in *every* package require => [ list of files ] inside a case statement, so

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, 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,

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

Has the component/type defaults syntax changed for 0.22.x? I have a component: <snip> define remotefile($owner=root, $group=root, $mode, $source, $backup=false, $recurse=false, $groupname="default") { file { $name: mode => $mode, owner => $owner, group => $group, backup => $backup,

... 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 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, I just upgraded to puppet 0.20.0 today after a short time playing with 0.19.3. The docs say to use the uppercase form for types but that seems to break for me. When I updated the remotefile function to use the new way, the puppet clients complain about objects not being found. For example: ----- OLD WAY (works, just with deprecations) ----- define remotefile (...) { file { $name :

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

I attempted the following: resources { service: purge => true, noop => true } service { sshd: ensure => running; iptables ensure => running; } And got the following message: notice: Starting configuration run err: Found a bug: uninitialized constant Parse notice: Finished configuration run in 0.47 seconds When I remove the ''resources'' line, everything works

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I''m just getting started with using Puppet, and from what I''ve seen I really like it. However, I''m trying get started with slighly more advanced things like templates but I''m running into a roadblock with not knowing what built-in variables I have available to me. Is there someplace this is documented?

Hi I''m having the following problem and tried already several workarounds, as well benp- tried to help me on irc. I copied the ntp modul from DavidS repo and adapted it in the Service part to run as well under openbsd. Which was just adding some binary if openbsd is the operatingsystem. However then I wanted to run it as well on a gentoo system (on centos, debian and openbsd it was

Hello List, We are using puppet to manage a growing number of Debian Etch based servers (currently 70). Since upgrading to 0.22.4 we encountered a problem when services do not restarted on puppets request. For example the Nagios remote plugin executor daemon (nrpe). It''s running daemonized and its confiugration is located in /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg. This file is managed through puppet
