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

OK... I have relaid out my puppet dir as recommended in best practices: [jleggett@binford puppet]$ find . -print | grep -v .svn . ./plugins ./plugins/lines.pp ./files ./files/module ./files/module/SSH ./files/module/SSH/ssh_config ./files/module/SSH/sshd_config ./files/module/INFO ./files/module/INFO/motd ./files/module/INFO/issue ./files/module/NIS ./files/module/NIS/nsswitch.conf

I am trying to streamline the current distribution specific setup and creation of VE''s within OpenVZ with puppet. My first attempt has gone horribly wrong as you will see below. Here''s the script I wrote to replace the redhat specific setup that OpenVZ used: [jleggett@lxp6d15m3 scripts]$ cat redhat-add_ip.sh #!/bin/bash # # Debug - take out later set -x

I had some questions come up today during the Puppet demo here: 1. Is there any way to apply different intervals to different classes? For example, we might want a security baseline manifest to run once a month, package installation files once/day, etc. Since we''re a brokerage, we also don''t want ANY system changes during trading hours. I guess we could cron killing the

Hi, When I try to install "gem install mysql" it throwing error. For your ref, bash-2.05b$ gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/opt/etrade/p6/share/mysql5 ERROR: http://gems.rubyforge.org/ does not appear to be a repository ERROR: could not find gem mysql locally or in a repository bash-2.05b$ gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/opt/etrade/p6/share/mysql5/bin/mysql_config

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

Hi all, I''m a new puppet user and I''m running into some weirdness around creating users on solaris. (puppet version 0.23.2) The virt_all_users way of managing users seems pretty reasonable, but I don''t see how to deal with user specific groups with that. I have: class virt_all_users { @user { "seph": ensure => "present",

Hi, I have a template file which I would like to append to an existing file (in this case I wish to add a few lines to /etc/motd). Unless I''ve missed it, it does not appear that file has an append option. Is there an easy way copy to the end of a file Thanks Paul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

I''m trying to get a new file server managed by puppet from day 1, at least as much as possible. At the moment, though, there''s two issues I''m running into: 1. fstab should have entries for my comically-large RAID, but doesn''t. 2. each puppet run appears to remount the RAID, even when no rules in the manifest change. I suspect the issue may be in parsing

Not that I''m much of a Solaris guy, and definitely not a Solaris 10 guy, but since nobody else had posted anything yet: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetSolaris#Solaris10 The good news is that it appears to be a completely hands-off puppetd installation. Just sign the client key afterwards on the puppetmaster and you''re set. The bad news is that it''s

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I was made aware of puppet a few weeks ago and I really like the way things are working. What I liked at cfengine was the capability to push content from the central server to any node. There was no need to open a port from DMZ or any other remote system to the central server. Is there a similar way within puppet? How is this solved by other

Hello, I''m new to puppet and facter. Initially we are planning on using facter/puppet to inventory machines (Mac, Ubuntu, and RHEL). We plan on writing a number of custom facts. Obviouly some of the facts will only be specific to some OSs. I know there is a "confine" method, but it confuses me. It seems the confine statement in some of the recipes and in the Turnbull book is

Hi, I''m still writing my djbdns module, I came to the following design issue with master and slave tinydns. Normally there is no such master and slave distinction in djbdns: all tinydns instance are equal. Usually one instance on one host is considered the master on, which the RR are changed, and when you need to propagate them, you rsync the datas to the other hosts, where they will be

I''m guessing this is a common use case, but I wasn''t able to find anything in the site FAQ. We''re looking at using Puppet on about 100 servers to control which user groups have access to which servers. The use case is as follows: We have Groups of servers, for example: CUSTOMERservers (serverA, serverB, ...,serverK) ADMINISTRATIVEservers

Hello, I am examining whether puppet meets our needs. I can''t find the answer to two questions I am looking to answer, hopefully someone can help. 1. Can puppet be used to manage different classes of the same computers, e.g. do something on the apache test farm, if it works then do it on the apache live farm; and is this done cleanly? 2. How are package updates (e.g. yum update/yum

Can anyone point me to a "Writing Puppet recipes for Dummies" doc? I''m trying to do a basic probe using lspci to see if I have a Qlogic HBA installed on the machine, and if so, install the Qlogic scli package. Here''s a shell script of what I''m trying to do: #!/bin/bash vendor=1077 # QLogic model=2422 # 24xx hba /sbin/lspci -n -d $vendor:$model | grep

It''s my understanding that if a file exists under a directory on the puppet client but doesn''t exist under directory on the puppet server server and puppet manages that directory on the client, that it won''t delete that file on the client. I''m trying to keep certain directories synchronized with the puppet server,. It seems that the standard file operations

I''m trying to create a virtual host file only if the document root directory exists. It doesn''t look like puppet is seeing the require metaparameter. Currently, the file is being created whether or not the document root directory exists. What is the best way to currently do this? I''m trying to create a file called site1.conf in /apps/apache/conf.d only if

It seems to me that when you have a master server and a client computer, the master doesn''t really need to know the implementation details of the client computer. It''s kinda like a browser from my perspective...the server is just telling the browser what needs to be drawn on the local side. Does the puppet model work like this? If not, I guess what I read didn''t
