Hi, I have run into an issue using puppet in an ldap environment and I am wondering if anyone else has run into the same issue. A number of the puppet clients in my testing environment are failing to apply new configurations because the puppet client is getting an ldap error. Currently, I am attempting to push a new bash_profile to my home directory and then set my username/group to then own the

I just upgraded to 0.22.0 from 0.18.4 and I''m running into what I think are problems due to changes in scope rules. In my site.pp manifest, I have the following: import "classes/*" node nfsserver { include nfsserver } node webserver { include webserver } class cluster1_sites { website { "example.com": ...; "example2.com": ...; } } node

I''m trying to trigger a service to be refreshed when the target of a symlink changes. Here''s how it''s configured: file { "/etc/lighttpd/sites-enabled/$domain.conf": notify => service[lighttpd], ensure => "/nfs/www/$domain/etc/lighttpd.conf", links => follow, } This causes the service to be refreshed everytime puppet updates, even if the

I''d like to create a component that takes different actions based on the classes associated with the node using the component. Is this possible? Here''s what I''m thinking. node www01 { include webserver website { "site1.com": aliases => ["www.site1.com", "test.site1.com"], username => www0001 } } node www02 { include

Thanks everyone for your quick responses to my questions. I''m trying to get templates working. I want to pull the template down from the puppet server, then use it. It looks like the require parameter is not being enforced when using the content parameter so the template can''t be found. This doesn''t work: file { "/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf" :

Hi all, I''m looking at changing the operatingsystemrelease fact for Red Hat. Linux currently just uses the kernel release as the operating system release, but I''ve got a client who wants the release to have both the specific distro (e.g., AS or EL) and the release (e.g., 3 or 4). Will this particularly annoy anyone? Anyone want to help make the release string work on

Hi, I''m using the ''backup'' parameter in file resources to backup to a central filebucket on the puppetmaster. How do I restore a backup? I couldn''t find anything in the wiki, but saw some docs by running ''filebucket --help''. It says to restore a backed up file, you need to know the md5sum. Unfortunately, AFAIK the only place this

Should multiple requires still work? require => Package[[lighttpd, openssl]] It fails in 0.22.0 with err: Could not apply complete configuration: Could not retrieve dependency ''Package[lighttpdopenssl]'' at /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/webserver.pp:84 Christian

Is there any security (or perhaps plans to add security) within the fileserver to verify that clients are only able to receive files specified in the manifests on the server? I''d like to distribute different Kerberos keytabs to different nodes such that nodes www01 and www02 can retrieve different files from nodes www03 and www04. Any ideas on how best to approach this problem? Thanks,

Is it possible to override the provider parameter when describing a user? My Ruby skills are quite limited, but it appears that provider is always chosen based on the operating system. I would like to build a user provider that will be almost identical to the objectadd one, but uses cpu[1] to add users and groups to an ldap directory. Since the cpu commands basically mirror the native

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

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.

While running puppetd on a linux client I get the following, the actual spot that the segfault happens varies, but it always happens. This is on ubuntu with the stock apt ruby1.8.4 package. Puppet also installed from apt. Puppet version 0.18.4 It seems very likely that this isnt a bug in puppet per se, but it is tickling a yaml bug (regardless of where it fails, it is always yaml). But I

Hi, How should I handle the combinatorics when one config file must be built for a combination of possible classes? Take for example the amd automounter''s configuration file, which on Debian is found at /etc/am-utils/amd.conf. This is an INI style file which looks like: [fsname1] param1=foo param2=bar [fsname2] param1=baz param2=quag In my case I have one class of machines

Hi, After figuring out the strange "rdoc" related crashes yesterday I''ve really started to test out puppet today. However, as my manifests become more complex I''m back to seeing random crashes again. I read the recent message in the archives of this list about downgrading to Debian''s libruby1.8-1.8.4-1 but it seems like only the "-5" version is in

I''m trying to install the tomcat5.5 package under Debian Etch. The problem is that the init.d script for tomcat5.5 uses "su .... &" to run some things (I think logging processes?) This causes puppetd to hang in its run, because the subprocess never returns (due to open filehandles?). Does anybody have any idea what I can do to get around this? The same

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,

I''m trying to have puppet install a bunch of ruby gems for me, but I''m running into problems with a few of them. This is on CentOS 4.4, ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [x86_64-linux] and the latest puppet from svn as of yesterday afternoon. I have: package { fastthread: ensure => "0.6.4.1", provider => gem, require =>

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
