Hey folks, I have a problem with the definition of a variable of type slist in CFEngine on # uname -a ; cat /etc/redhat-release Linux policyhub.example.com 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 22 21:09:27 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core) I'm not sure if its valid to ask CFEngine questions on this mailing list, but as far as I'm running on

Greetings, Our environment consists of about 600 Redhat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, 5, and soon 6 servers. We use cfengine 2 currently, but plan on migrating to puppet. Right now, we have our root-owned cfengine client running every 15 minutes from cron contacting a single cfservd server. Additionally, our employees start their own cfengine and puppet instances on on some servers running under

Is there an equivalent to cfrun in puppet. On the cfengine master you can do the command cfrun <hostname> which allows you to tell the cfengine client to run. This is useful for immediately pushing changes out immediately (or telling the client to pull). Chris

Anyone ever implimented cfengine on 4.x ? I am just looking for background and if there are any traps to fall into? thanks

Hello, I''ve recently begun looking at Puppet as an alternative to Cfengine and I have a couple of questions. 1) Besides the information posted on the Puppet website, are there any critical differences between Puppet and Cfengine? 2) Does Puppet allow for client-specific file text manipulation. For instance, in Cfengine I can add a line of text to a file if the line doesn''t

Hi all, I''d appreciate your help improving our understanding of what the community is most looking for from Puppet, how Reductive Labs manages it, and how best to provide services around the project. Toward this end, we''ve created a short survey (it should take you less than ten minutes): http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/95175/q1-2008-puppet-user-survey Please take a few

Campers -- In a few weeks there will be a bunch of people in Portland, OR, for a conference. A long time ago some campers mentioned that might be a good time for us to get together and hold a mini CampingConf for a few hours. Is anyone interested? Does anyone want to organize it? I''m thinking Wednesday night, May 16. We could possibly get a spot at FreeGeek (not likely since they are

The docs to installing cfengine refers to /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root That doesn't exist. Nor does /etc/crontab. Heck I remember that from the "old days", now there are lots of cron entries, in /etc but no crontab. Not installed by default. So, I'm hunting that one down. Nate, what did you wind up doing??

Hi all, If anyone on the list happens to be on the sage mailing list, a couple of people are debating the relative merits of Puppet and cfengine: http://www.sage.org/lists/sage-members-archive/2006/msg01433.html -- Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect. -- Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

Hello, we run approximately 400 Centos servers at our company. We use cfengine for configuration management. I am looking for some documentation to do patching including kernel patches. I was thinking of just having each host run yum update via cfengine but not sure if there are any gotchas there? Should I just do yum update? or should i exclude the kernel and be more careful with those? how

I need to know how to do the following in puppet. Say I have three classes, (c1,c2,c3) that are not related. These classes could be considered "attributes" that may or may not apply to an individual host on my network. I need to know how to write a manifest, or series of manifests to allow me trigger a command (call it ''foo'') if all three classes are defined. I also

Hi, I was just looking at the "CRAN Daily Package Check Results" [http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/checkSummary.html], and realized there are 1000 packages on CRAN as of today (look at row 3 in the table below). Yet another quite extraordinary milestone in R history. Last updated on 2007-04-12 11:48:32 Results for installing and checking packages using the three current flavors

I have been looking at Puppet as a possible replacement for cfengine at our site. One difficulty I''ve had with cfengine that I''m wondering if Puppet can solve is that of dealing with laptop/mobile users. Since these laptops move around quite a bit, their IP/hostname is constantly changing. From playing with puppet a bit, I''ve found that it seems to generate the

Hello All, I have been tasked with getting some configuration management system running at work. We have about 20 web servers running (some virtual and some physical), and we are trying to come up with a tool that will assist setting up new boxes as we bring them online, as well as maintaining existing systems when changes are necessary. After spending a little bit of time searching around

Is anyone working with cfengine v3? It looks like it has some interesting design changes and a commercially supported windows version now. Can anyone share real-world experiences? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

It would be hard to use ansible, cfengine or whatever while there no IP address on the new VM.....

Hello fellow community members! I just joined you in order to find an information about how to start using Puppet... Currently we use cfengine for our legacy system containing several OS platforms, including physical and virtual servers. For fresh new hardware and OS versions we decided to go with Puppet due to it''s growing popularity (wow, 4082 members of this group only!).

Hi all, I''m new to puppet (coming from cfengine). I have a question concerning recursive copy. We have about 20 different types of desktop PC installations (typeA, typeB, ...). Each type has about 10-40 different config files. What I would like to do: I have a file server with the following structure: /dist/typeA /dist/typeB /dist/typeC ... Inside /dist/typeA the config files have
