Fedora Core 7 has just updated their Ruby package (was 1.8.6.36-3.fc7, is now 1.8.6.110-3.fc7), and the upgrade broke my Puppet installation, and there was a similar report from someone else. Communications between the puppetmasterd and the puppetd running on the same host broke down with the message: Could not retrieve configuration: Certificates were not trusted: hostname not match with

Does any one have a recipe for getting facter facts from ldap?

Hello! I''ve been trying to use facts from Facter in a custom function. I''ve been following Matthew''s entry in the wiki (http://www.reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/WritingYourOwnFunctions). What i''m seeing is that Facter[''fqdn''].value is always returning the fqdn of the puppetmaster host. I was expecting the fqdn of the client host.

I''ve tried to implement puppetmaster High Availability (mon+heartbeat). Herefore, the puppet client and puppet master are running on both servers. When the puppet client starts up, it generates a certificate, public and private key for the machine it runs on. When the puppet master starts up, it changes something so that the puppet client have no valid certificate anymore (the

Hi, Is there a way to have puppetmaster sign new clients'' certificates when using apache+mongrel for serving, without having a separate puppetmaster instance running webrick on a different port/IP? I guess this does not work out of the box because apache is told to do the verification very early in the connection process, at which point it does not yet know that the client is going to

Hello dear list. First of all thanks to all the developers for the great work on puppet. After using it for a while, there is not better tool to manage a network! I have a problem with the $processor fact, which seems to be either not there or ignored at all. I try to implement package deployment for the Macs (Intel vs. PowerPC) as described here:

Hi, My environment is composed of ~250 workstations hitting a single puppetmaster server, which has been working fairly well up until now. The most recent change has been a migration of a lot of remote file copy objects which were previously handled with cfengine. client side puppetd calls to the puppetmaster.getconfig method are taking unreasonably long, on the order of 2-3 minutes. It

Hi, I''m working on a method to manage packages which require a reboot after being installed. I''m curious how other people are handling this problem. Consider the resource: pkg_deploy { "MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.9Intel.dmg": alias => macosx1049 } I''d like to only install the package under if the following conditions are met: - No user is logged into the

Hello there, Since the update with ruby all my puppet function is dead (well known issue with the cert) . There has been some discutions on the dev list on how to patch this for future versions. I have read the list and wondered how we can solve the issue while waiting for the .24. I am in beta test of the .23.x version but on my production system i wanted to find a way to solve this now

Hello all, puppet hangs while trying to restart a daemon when the associated config file changes, here the log: Mar 19 11:30:04 ingentTest puppetd[27390]: Starting Puppet client version 0.22.0 puppetd[27390]: Starting configuration run puppetd[27390]: (/ingenttest/qualsevolnode/guaita[guaita]/File[/etc/guaita.conf]/content) synced puppetd[27390]:

Hi all, We''re getting close to release[1], so I''d appreciate it if people would start testing the current ''master'' branch with their repositories. I made quite a few internal changes, most of which shouldn''t even be noticed unless there are bugs, so just running a server and/or client under the current code would be a big help. I''m

I''m having a heck of a time trying to fix #1178, which is a problem related to inconsistent node names, and it all stems from the ''node_name'' setting. In the default setup, your certificate gets created with your host''s fully qualified node name, and Puppet uses the value from the certificate for everything. In addition, there''s a setting,

I recently upgraded my Puppetmaster to 0.24.4 and it looks like my templates are not working properly. All of my clients use the same certificate, built by my original client "xx". I do this using the certname=blah parameter in the puppet.conf on each client. Up until I upgraded each client would use the "xx" certificate (which I had renamed to "blah") and

Hello All, I''m using the "Branch Testing" approach documented at https://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/BranchTesting and am seeing an issue with certificates. On all clients, I can run puppetd --masterport=8141 successfully but see the following error when I run against the default (8140) port: err: Could not retrieve configuration: Certificates were not trusted:

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

I just updated to 0.22.2 and am running into a strange issue. I''m starting puppetmaster, and seeing this in my error log: err: /puppetconfig/reporting/File[/Library/Puppet/Generated/Server/var/reports]/ensure: change from absent to directory failed: Cannot create /Library/Puppet/Generated/Server/var/reports; parent directory /Library/Puppet/Generated/Server/var does not exist err:

Hi all, I''ve got a new class in the current code, which I''ve been calling Configuration but Matt reasonably thinks is horrible. He is recommending the name Manifest, and I figured I''d see what others thought. The point of the class is to function as a resource container -- it keeps a reference to all of the resources we''re managing, and knows how to

Hi, I''ve just turned email reporting on for my Puppet installation, and discovered that I''m receiving intermittent failures on files being copied from the file server. Puppet is running every 30 seconds, but I''m getting these errors maybe 12 times in 24 hours. Any thoughts on the significance of this? The error message is a bit opaque for me. Thu Aug 16 18:17:56

Hi, In our dev/int environemnts, our user base wants to be able to change managed files at will during the day but be notified via email of changes that happen. At night they want the files replaced to their known good state if there were changed. I tried to do this with a custom function that wraps two file types, one that just watches checksum, the other that does a reset of content with a

So I''ve done some Mac OS X pkgs for the latest Facter and Puppet, as well as a combined mpkg for them both. Jeff McCune and I are doing a fair bit of testing on them this week in preparation for MacWorld, so I wasn''t going to upload them to the official site for another few days, but they''re looking pretty good. http://explanatorygap.net/puppet/Facter_1.3.8.pkg.zip
