Hi, I was at the Puppet talk at Oscon and I would like to try using Puppet for PXE on RHEL machines and I was wondering if there are standard minimal Kickstart recipes from which Puppet can then take over. Thanks, Jason van Zyl jason at maven.org

Hi all, I''ve just implemented a [crude] manifest to apply a set authorized_keys file to the root account of a puppet client. class rootssh_test { file { "/root/.ssh/authorized_keys": owner => root, group => root, mode => 0600, content => template("rootssh_test") } } The template has two ssh id_rsa lines in. When the client applies

So I can''t quite see how to do this in the existing syntax. Ideally there would be an onlyif parameter for packages, but that doesn''t seem to be the case. I could create a fact that returns true or false depending on whether the file exists, but that doesn''t feel like the right way to do it either. I could do something like: $file_exists =

Hi guys, I''m installing Puppet on RHEL5 systems using KickStart but struggle with the first boot. Here''s my situation: 1) kickstart installs the system, including puppet from our local repo 2) after reboot I have to login and set the hostname and IP 3) then run puppet, register it with the server and bring in the config 4) configure puppet for automatic start I have to

Hi all, First time here, so please be gentle! :) I'm trying to configure a system that will pxeboot and retrieve a kickstart file from a server based on that host's macaddress as part of my Edison project[0] however I'm having issues getting the dns lookup to work and I'm hoping you can help! My pxelinux.cfg/default file is as follows: ======================= default linux

Anyone know where I can find a good chrooted named module for centos? Named as chroot is ugly... soft and hard links everywhere...

I have this config: # BL00070 - Disable NFS service {["nfs","nfslock","netfs","portmap"]: ensure => stopped, enable => false, } user {"rpc": ensure => absent, provider => "useradd" } user {"rpcuser": ensure => absent, provider => "useradd" } file

Hello all. There is some strange thing going on with our OS X clients. We have created a package which is run via SystemStarter. What it does? It parses /etc/fstab and mounts the NFS directories mentioned there. This is needed since we want to have static mounts and the NetInfo-automounter combination does not do static mounts (even with ttl=0 set for the mount, which is supposed to do a

This is probably a long shot, but does anyone know what apple has done to samba on mac os x server? reading through the docs, it sounds like they have modified it to authenticate via netinfo. At the very least, they've done something so that rather than having an smbpasswd file, it stores the windows encrypted passwords in netinfo, and it authenticates incoming requests via netinfo rather

Due to the exploit in samba <2.2.8, we can no longer run the samba supplied by apple. Apple has not released any updates for OSX server 1.1.5 -- instead wanting us to upgrade to OSX server 10.2 for $900. I have been able to build the latest version of samba on max osX , but authentication is not working. What are the hooks needed to talk to the netinfo database for password information?

Hello folks, I''m new to the Rails framework and don''t know where to look to find my answer. Here is the question, Is there a way to set multiple domain name for *a* rails application, and base on the URL do the work in the app. Imagine I have a user based document management system, each user want to access to her docs using her domain, but I don''t like to have many

This has been a much-requested feature, and is now a reality (in svn trunk): There is a new option, --ignoreimport, that will (surprisingly) ignore import statements. This is really only useful when using -- parseonly in a commit hook, and note that you''ll have to add the option to --parseonly, none of the puppet executables will add it for you. You should be able to

Hi all - I'm not sure if it's appropriate to ask this here, but I don't see this question explicitly answered anywhere. Is there an EFI version of "pxelinux.0" that will function basically the same way and read the same pxelinux.cfg/default menu files? I've got a really dodgy grubx64.efi EFI PXE menu up at work, but it can't load the 1.2 gigabyte LiveCD that we use

I''ve just filed http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/ticket/1182 with the aim of making it easier to add fact pickup from dmidecode in manufacturer.rb. As the ticket says, I think that the fact sections, keys and values shouldn''t be hardcoded in manufacturer.rb, but should be stored in a configuration file somewhere. This means that a given stable installation of Puppet can be

The main difficulty in enabling that is making sure that puppet doesn''t run ''yum groupinstall'' (or ''yum groupupdate'') on every run. To avoid that,

Hi, Question number 3 :) I'd like to do something like this: display text.msg append text kssendmac ksdevice=eth1 ks=http://1.2.3.4/footprint/ default localboot label localboot localboot 0x80 label system?5 kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ip=1.2.3.5 netmask=255.255.255.192 gateway=1.2.3.1 label system6 kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ip=1.2.3.6

For whatever reason, the RPMForge package ruby-rrdtool doesn''t play nice on my CentOS 5.1 box with puppetmaster. It installs site_ruby/1.8/i386-linux/RRD.so, which puppetmaster is unable to find (and the suggested test of ruby -rRRDtool -e ''puts :yep'' fails). Using ln to link RRD.so to RRDtool.so works for the command line test, but still fails for puppetmaster. This

Hi I am running a pxe diskless node in f13 and I have some proposals to make ovirt-early working in this version. nash is no more available (nash/mkinitrd is replaced by dracut), so this following command fails : "echo "network --device $DEVICE --bootproto dhcp" | nash" it makes the network configuration incomplete. I replace the linuxrc command by dhclient and it's

Hello folks, I''m sitting here converting my static, simple classes/snmp.pp into a full module, and I''ve run into a bit of a brick wall. net-snmp is one of those wonderful programs that will only read two configuration files (it reads a few more, but only 2 are in /etc) - /etc/snmpd.conf and /etc/snmpd.local.conf. This means that my SNMP module is somehow going to have to

Thanks Nicolas, that's done the trick. The node now boots and sets up it's interfaces. The host now appears in the management server user interface and
