similar to: package: ignores "source"; "provider" doesn''t work as advertised?

Hello, I would like to know on what platforms Puppet runs. I cannot seem to find the information on Puppet''s web site. Bcfg2 has it on it''s front page :-) I know there are .debs and .rpms, but are, for instance, Solaris, FreeBSD and AIX supported? Thanks. -- Guillaume Pratte Recherche et développement Révolution Linux Toutes les opinions et les prises de position

Hi Creating an account on solaris using the Œuser¹ type seems to create a locked account. This then needs to be unlocked using passwd ­u user I would have thought creating an unlocked account would be more useful. Or an extension to the user type that accepts a lock => (true|false) setting. To test if an account is locked, use passwd ­s user HTH Gary

This was a fun one to track down... I was trying to use the append_if_no_such_line script from the wiki and it was working fine EXCEPT when I threw a notify at it. The notify appears to completely ignore both unless and onlyif within the exec for some reason. If I put the same test in the actual command line, it works fine. Example: unless => "/bin/grep -Fqe ''$line''

Hi all, It was brought to my attention that the front page lists 0.23.3 as the stable release, but that no such release exists. I could have sworn I released this a few weeks ago, but now I can find no evidence of that. I''m going to publish it from the latest commit in the 0.23.x branch as soon as possible (probably in about 12 hours), so if anyone wants to get that last-minute

Hi, I would find it very useful if puppet were able to replicate passwords for specified users from a master PC (the puppetmaster would do me fine, though I suspect this may not suit everyone). That would make changing passwords on my small Linux network a little easier. cheers John Dubery

Hi all, A couple of people are trying to convince me to come to FOSDEM in Belgium at the end of February. I''m a bit hesitant because I''ve been doing so much travel, but LinuxConf.au was a great experience and seems to have really helped get exposure to Puppet. There seems to be a pretty strong European contingent of Puppet users, and it''d be great to meet

Has anyone used Puppet to manage Solaris Patches? If so could you pass on any tips. For those without Solaris experience, you can only describe the configuration of a Solaris system with the full combination of Installed Packages Installed Patches Applied Configuration

Hi, I''ve just changed my debian preseed configuration to install the debian unstable package of puppet v0.22.1. As part of the preseed I have a late command that clobbers the /etc/init.d/puppet file into using the puppet standalone program and not the puppetd (as this is what I''m using). Since the upgrade to 0.22.1 every boot hangs during the initd. Going into standalone mode

I''ve just committed Facter 1.3.8. All of the work for this release was done by James Turnbull, so everyone should thank him for getting it done. Here''s the changelog: Fixed Rdoc::usage bug on CentOS 5 - closed Puppet #753 and Facter #40 Added support to return multiple interfaces and their IP addresses and MAC addressess as facts. Returns

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, I''m running into a problem with the user type with puppet 0.20.1... this worked before with 0.19.x at least, not sure about 0.20. But I''ve got adduser.pp: <snip> define adduser($uid, $gid, $groups="users", $membership="minimum") { group { $name: gid => $gid, allowdupe => false, ensure

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 :

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

Puppet has been in Fedora Extras for the last couple of weeks or so; I just forgot to post about that. With that, there is no need to use my personal repo at people.redhat.com anymore; your standard yum configuration should find it. The current version is 0.18.3; I just built 0.18.4 for Extras, but it will be a day or two before it shows up on a mirror near you. David

Dear Shorewall Users, having noticed that the request for a WebGUI is growing, after a very short conversation I''ve had with Tom, I''d like to let you all evaluate the Web interface to Shorewall I''ve written, integrating the original weblet package made available for the LRP project. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preamble

Hi all, again. It looks like my last attempt of sending this message got cut off, at least it looks like that in the archive[1], so I''m trying again: <rerun> Luke Kanies suggested that I take this up here since his memory on the subject was a bit poor. I am trying to cat various files together into one file. According to the documentation "sourceselect => all" might

Hi, I''ve been using puppet for about a week and a half now, and it''s definitely making my life a lot easier. I''m using 0.24.1 and I''ve run into a small snag. I''m trying to write some code to make sure user home directories exist for users in LDAP. I''m trying to get their uid, gid and home directory from getent with something like: $uid =

Hi all, I''ve finally gotten around to releasing Facter 1.5. As the version bump implies, this is a relatively significant release (for a 2.3k line program, anyway). Mostly, the biggest change is refactoring the code internally so that all of the functionality is split into separate classes in separate files. Also, the facts are all loaded on-demand, which provides dramatic

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,

Is there an easy way to list which puppet daemons a puppetmaster controls? ... and from that, is there a way of getting the puppetmaster to store a copy of their compiled configuration somewhere? Thanks, mike
